/prog/ - The Best Sorting Algorithm

Name: Anonymous 2009-09-07 21:49

^In this _thread we will discuss sorting algorithms and vote for our favorite one.

I will update the stats every postIndex % 25 posts.

May the best #sort win!

- Bubble Sort
- Insertion Sort
- Selection Sort
- Merge Sort
- Quick Sort
- Heap Sort
- Shell Sort
- Bucket Sort
- Radix Sort

Vote for one of these or any sort you like. I'll add new sorts to the list when I update stats.

I must say, I have a thing for quicksort. When my data comes home at night, the quicksort makes sure that my data has a beer, a television, and a meal in short order.

Besides, I think you mean whatever's the default in your language implementation, Which language defines the sorting algorithm in it's standard?

Stubborn sort

The list is already sorted. What? You can't prove that it isn't! You just have to have faith!

if the god sort set the initial state to sorted how would you afterwards have had anything to compare against?

I like the dick-grabbing sort. It's like quicksort, but before doing it you have to *grabs dick* (and *ungrabs dick* after you're done, not to risk an anal leak).

You must be new here, it's understandable that you should be confused.
Please follow these simple rules:
1) lurk more
2) STFU when adults are talking.

Thanks and have a nice /prog/
