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.

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 ...

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 [thatguyer] is ...

check out this demonstration of how to write a common sorting algorithm using SQL Server TSQL code. You are probably familiar with the built-in sorting abilities of SQL Server for columnar data ...

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 ...

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.
