I’m trying to implement the bucket sort algorithm using Python. My current implementation seems to have a problem when dealing with integer values outside the range of 0 to 1. Specifically, the index calculation for bucket placement results in an index that is out of the range of the number of buckets.
this is my code:
`def bucketsort(array):
bucket = []
for i in range (len(array)):
bucket.append([])
for j in array:
index_b = int(10*j)
bucket[index_b].append(j)
for i in range(len(array)):
bucket[i] = sorted(bucket[i])
k = 0
for i in range(len(array)):
for j in range(len(bucket[i])):
array[k] = bucket[i][j]
k += 1
return array
array = [12, 84, 64, 65, 94, 46, 99]
print(“Sorted array is: “, bucketsort(array))`
When I run this code with the array [12, 84, 64, 65, 94, 46, 99], show an IndexError due to the calculated bucket index being out of range.
How can I modify my implementation to handle a general case of integer arrays?
