A bidirectional variant of selection sort (called double selection sort or sometimes cocktail sort due to its similarity to cocktail shaker sort) finds both the minimum and maximum values in the list in every pass. This requires three comparisons per two items (a pair of elements is compared, then the greater is compared to the maximum and the ...
Selection sort is an in-place comparison sort. It has O(n 2) complexity, making it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort. Selection sort is noted for its simplicity and also has performance advantages over more complicated algorithms in certain situations.
If anyone knows of a selection sort implementation that is stable, please share it with the rest of us. -- Smjg 17:17, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC) Selection sort done on a linked list can be made stable very easily. However, since the discussion of stable vs unstable is done in the context of an array, the selection sort is unstable.
Comparison-based sorting algorithms have traditionally dealt with achieving an optimal bound of O(n log n) when dealing with time complexity.Adaptive sort takes advantage of the existing order of the input to try to achieve better times, so that the time taken by the algorithm to sort is a smoothly growing function of the size of the sequence and the disorder in the sequence.
Unfortunately, the ability to sort by "From," "Subject," or "Date" is no longer supported if you use the New/Old style of inbox. If you want to sort your messages this way, switch to the Unified Inbox style.
Word list Drawing up a comprehensive list of words in English is important as a reference when learning a language as it will show the equivalent words you need to learn in the other language to achieve fluency.

Slowsort is a sorting algorithm.It is of humorous nature and not useful. It is a reluctant algorithm based on the principle of multiply and surrender (a parody formed by taking the opposites of divide and conquer).
