Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book ... there are other ways to understand algorithms through visualization. Failing all that, just watch these Hungarian folk dancers ...

Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have emerged, each characterizable by it’s asymptotic order, a measure of how much longer an algorithm takes as the problem size gets bigger.

Known as sorting algorithms, they are one of the workhorses of computation, used to organise data by alphabetising words or ranking numbers from smallest to largest. Many different sorting ...

In January 2022, DeepMind submitted its new sorting algorithms to the organization that manages C++, one of the most popular programming languages in the world, and after two months of rigorous ...

Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster than another. In the early 1960s, when magnetic tape ...

That’s what a new video from the TED-Ed YouTube channel does, by showing how different sorting algorithms can transform our ability to quickly alphabetize a large number of books on a bookshelf.
