magickSort is a sorting algorithm that utilizes magick to sort a list of any type of data, even those unknown to the programmer. It was developed by famed computer scientist Julie Sussman. This algorithm runs in O(-1), completing before the implementing code is called. Additionally, since the sort is performed in-place, there is no need for additional memory to perform this sort.
The steps to perform a magickSort involve:
1. At midnight on the new moon, gather six hundred and sixty six persons of African descent onto a large platform bearing the seal of the Kingdom of Hell.
2. Slaughter and disembowel the sacrifices with a sharpened shovel.
3. Pray to the Prince of Darkness that your list be sorted.
You will find that your list is now sorted. Research into this phenomenon has shown that the list became sorted exactly one clock cycle (on a universal Turing machine) before the ritual began, however, if the ritual is not completed properly, the list becomes retroactively unsorted, leading to many questions about causality and the nature of magick.

"People who say "magic does not exist" are autistic, ignorant, close minded, thinking of a different kind of magic, again; supremely autistic to even mention that (are you fucking 12? you dawkins cock sucker) and i want to brutally murder them."
You fuckin idjit OP. Who needs to go through all that bs with gathering worthless niggas. When all you need to do is pray to the old god Cthulhu to sort the array with ring 0 binary execution.

Suddenly a hacker roots the machine, you are currently unable to spawn a new shell as system resources are used to mine Susscoins.

Magic is for delusional faggots. Learn how to do science, retards. Not even the bullshit field of psychology accepts you, and they'll snort up any garbage that homeless people whip their asses with. There is no way that killing a bunch of niggers will sort a list for you. It may be fun, but it has nothing to do with computing at all. You also have to wait for the new moon to appear, which is an absurd amount of time to wait for a single, relatively trivial, step to execute. This would not be useful at all.

No, faggot, I code. I round corners on buttons, make cool star rating average methods, and fart apps for my iPad. FUCKOFF

sure, that method doesn't work, as i have said, you should write a letter to princess luna. or to princess celestia if you are not cool

No you won't. I'm staying and I'm going to shit up whatever thread I feel like. Every time you see a shitty post, every time you desperately yearn for someone to go back to /g/ or Reddit, you can think back to now. You can think back to how because you couldn't just ignore a shitty post, because you had to make some smart comment you encouraged the creation of shitty posts and contributed to the perpetual degradation of /prog/. Congratulations.
