A Sorting Algorithm Demo. ⇒
16 November 2006, lunch time
I hadn't heard of Shear Sort before. In grade 12 computer science, one of our assignments was to write a program that would compare the speeds of various sorting algorithms. Mezan and I did this fairly quickly, and spent the rest of the time alloted for the assignment adding graphic embellishments to the program. This was a common theme for much of grade 12 computer science. (Drawing a graphs using Borland's graphics library, in DOS, will slow down a bubble sort a hell of a lot.)
