I want to optimize my code for performance and fine-tuned logic.

    \$\begingroup\$ Can you tell us more about what the code does? It makes it much easier on reviewers if there's a plain English description of what you expect the code to accomplish. \$\endgroup\$

Code which is commented out is dead code which should be deleted to increase readability.


Using correct indention will add readability.

            while (testCases > 0) {

            Integer lng = scanInput.nextInt();
            if(lng!=0){
            int[] sortArray= new int[lng];
                long stime=System.currentTimeMillis();
                for (int i = 0; i < lng; i++) {
                Integer test = scanInput.nextInt();
                sortArray[i] = test;
            }

looks strange and not readable while

            while (testCases > 0) {
                Integer lng = scanInput.nextInt();
                if(lng!=0){
                    int[] sortArray= new int[lng];
                    long stime=System.currentTimeMillis();
                    for (int i = 0; i < lng; i++) {
                        Integer test = scanInput.nextInt();
                        sortArray[i] = test;
                    }

looks much more readable. Your IDE will have some kind of keyboard shortcut to automatically format your source.


You should always code against interfaces rather than against concrete implementations.

ArrayList<Integer> buckets[] = new ArrayList[bucketCount];  

should be

List<Integer> buckets[] = new ArrayList[bucketCount];  

Using braces {} for single line if statements also, makes your code less error prone.


Variables should be declared as near as possible to their usage.

double interval = ((double)(high - low + 1))/bucketCount; //range of one bucket

ArrayList<Integer> buckets[] = new ArrayList[bucketCount];
for (int i = 0; i < bucketCount; i++) { //initialize buckets
    buckets[i] = new ArrayList();
}

for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { //partition the input array
    buckets[(int)((array[i] - low)/interval)].add(array[i]);
}

should be

ArrayList<Integer> buckets[] = new ArrayList[bucketCount];
for (int i = 0; i < bucketCount; i++) { //initialize buckets
    buckets[i] = new ArrayList();
}

double interval = ((double)(high - low + 1))/bucketCount; //range of one bucket
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { //partition the input array
    buckets[(int)((array[i] - low)/interval)].add(array[i]);
}

You should let your variables have some space to breathe.

double interval = ((double) (high - low + 1))/bucketCount;

should be

double interval = ((double) (high - low + 1)) / bucketCount;
