What does sort algorithm actually mean? Find out inside PCMag's comprehensive tech and computer-related encyclopedia.

If you’re under the impression that something as simple as sorting numbers is dull, think again. This visualization lets you see and hear fifteen different algorithms sift their way through a ...

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [tha… ...

PhD student Timo Bingmann has created an amazing video showing sorting algorithms in action. And it's surprisingly awesome!

In this module the student will learn the very basics of algorithms through three examples: insertion sort (sort an array in ascending/descending order); binary search: search whether an element is ...

The library sorting problem is used across computer science for organizing far more than just books. A new solution is less than a page-width away from the theoretical ideal. Computer scientists often ...

Designer Talia Cotton wanted to create an unbiased logo, so she put an algorithm to work. But that raised all kinds of thorny questions about whether design can ever really be neutral.

Anyone who has taken a basic computer science class has undoubtedly spent time devising a sorting algorithm—code that will take an unordered list of items and put them in ascending or descending ...

Not only is Bubble Sort inefficient, but a fully functional programming version of this algorithm would be unnecessarily verbose.
