// Bubble sorting using most of the important features in TypeScript

//* index.ts
import { Sorter } from './Sorter';
import { NumbersCollection } from './NumbersCollecton';

// Passing object into helper function to prepare variable for sorter when data is an array
const numbersCollection = new NumbersCollection([10, 3, -5, 0])
// Passing in object now instead of raw data
const sorter = new Sorter(numbersCollection)

sorter.sort()

console.log(numbersCollection.data)



//* Sorter.ts
import { NumbersCollection } from './NumbersCollecton';


export class Sorter {
  constructor(public collection: NumbersCollection)  {}

  sort(): void {
    const { length } = this.collection

    for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
      for (let j = 0; j < length - i - 1; j++) {
        if (this.collection.compare(j, j + 1)) {
          this.collection.swap(j, j+1)
        }
        // Only going to work if collecton is a string
        // If collection is a string, do this instead
        // ~~~logic to compare and swap characters in a string
      }
    }
  }
}



//* NumbersCollection.ts

/* Class Structure: */

// File: NumbersCollection.ts
// Class: NumbersCollection {
// Constructor: constructor(permissions, vars: types) {}
// Function(s) function(): type {
  // function body
// } //close function
// } // Close Class




export class NumbersCollection {
  // Require an array of numbers to be passed in and instantiated
  constructor(public data: number[]) {}
  // Need to get length of array
  get length(): number {
    return this.data.length
  }
  // decide if we need to swap 2 elements in a pair (bubble sort)
  /* is -1 > 0 ? If so, swap them
    /       |
  /        |
  [-1] [0] [5] [10] */
  compare(leftIndex: number, rightIndex: number): boolean {
    return this.data[leftIndex] > this.data[rightIndex]
  }

  swap(leftIndex: number, rightIndex: number): void {
    const leftHand = this.data[leftIndex]
    this.data[leftIndex] = this.data[rightIndex]
    this.data[rightIndex] = leftHand

  }

}

// const collection = new NumbersCollection([1,2,3])
// // since 'get' was used, length doesn't need to be called as a function (ex: collection.length())
// collection.length

TypeScript class. Good example for TS Class structure demonstrated on a bubble sort function This example only accepts an array of numbers, see other snippet for a version that can differentiate between an array of Numbers and strings
