  2. Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

    Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the input list element by element, comparing the current element with the one after it, swapping their values if needed. These passes through the list are repeated until no swaps have to be performed during a pass, meaning that the ...

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Stable sort algorithms sort equal elements in the same order that they appear in the input. For example, in the card sorting example to the right, the cards are being sorted by their rank, and their suit is being ignored. This allows the possibility of multiple different correctly sorted versions of the original list.

  5. Shellsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellsort

    The next pass, 3-sorting, performs insertion sort on the three subarrays (a 1, a 4, a 7, a 10), (a 2, a 5, a 8, a 11), (a 3, a 6, a 9, a 12). The last pass, 1-sorting, is an ordinary insertion sort of the entire array (a 1,..., a 12). As the example illustrates, the subarrays that Shellsort operates on are initially short; later they are longer ...

  6. Talk:Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bubble_sort

    Simply changing the comparison from "<" to ">=" in any comparison sort will reverse the sorting order; therefore this statement is not at all specific to bubble sort and better discussed in the more general comparison sort article, as it is. The placement here suggests that this is a special property or advantage of bubble sort.

  7. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    An example of a list that proves this point is the list (2,3,4,5,1), which would only need to go through one pass of cocktail sort to become sorted, but if using an ascending bubble sort would take four passes. However one cocktail sort pass should be counted as two bubble sort passes. Typically cocktail sort is less than two times faster than ...

  8. Kendall tau distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kendall_tau_distance

    Kendall tau distance is also called bubble-sort distance since it is equivalent to the number of swaps that the bubble sort algorithm would take to place one list in the same order as the other list. The Kendall tau distance was created by Maurice Kendall .

  9. Boyer–Moore majority vote algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyer–Moore_majority_vote...

    Initialize an element m and a counter c with c = 0; For each element x of the input sequence: If c = 0, then assign m = x and c = 1; else if m = x, then assign c = c + 1; else assign c = c − 1; Return m; Even when the input sequence has no majority, the algorithm will report one of the sequence elements as its result.
