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.

To see your life story as you lived it? No problem – there are sets of instructions – or sorting algorithms – that can sort anything. Some algorithms are more efficient than others ...

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 algorithm addresses something called the library sorting problem (more formally, the “list labeling” problem). The challenge is to devise a strategy for organizing books in some kind of sorted ...

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 ...

Covers the fundamentals of algorithms and various algorithmic strategies, including time and space complexity, sorting algorithms, recurrence relations, divide and conquer algorithms, greedy ...

Algorithms can be designed using pseudocode and flow diagrams. Searching and sorting algorithms - OCR Sorting and searching are two of the most frequently needed algorithms in program design.
