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 ...

In fact, “15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes” — created by Timo Bingmann, a PhD student at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology — is one of the most weirdly hypnotic viewing experiences ...

Sorting is so basic that algorithms are built into most standard libraries for programming languages. And, in the case of the C++ library used with the LLVM compiler, the code hasn't been touched ...

A formula used to reorder data into a new sequence. Like all complicated problems, there are many solutions that can achieve the same results, and one sort algorithm can re-sequence data faster ...
