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 ...

Because the linear search algorithm simply moves up the list and checks each item, the data in the list does not need to be in order. However, as the list gets longer the algorithm takes longer to ...

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 ...

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 ...
