  2. Card sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Card_sorting

    Card sorting is a technique in user experience design in which a person tests a group of subject experts or users to generate a dendrogram (category tree) or folksonomy. It is a useful approach for designing information architecture , workflows, menu structure, or web site navigation paths.

  3. Patience sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patience_sorting

    The first phase of patience sort, the card game simulation, can be implemented to take O(n log n) comparisons in the worst case for an n-element input array: there will be at most n piles, and by construction, the top cards of the piles form an increasing sequence from left to right, so the desired pile can be found by binary search.

  4. 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. Divide-and-conquer algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divide-and-conquer_algorithm

    The divide-and-conquer technique is the basis of efficient algorithms for many problems, such as sorting (e.g., quicksort, merge sort), multiplying large numbers (e.g., the Karatsuba algorithm), finding the closest pair of points, syntactic analysis (e.g., top-down parsers), and computing the discrete Fourier transform .

  6. Sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting

    Such a component or property is called a sort key. For example, the items are books, the sort key is the title, subject or author, and the order is alphabetical. A new sort key can be created from two or more sort keys by lexicographical order. The first is then called the primary sort key, the second the secondary sort key, etc.

  7. Bogosort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort

    In computer science, bogosort [1] [2] (also known as permutation sort and stupid sort [3]) is a sorting algorithm based on the generate and test paradigm. The function successively generates permutations of its input until it finds one that is sorted. It is not considered useful for sorting, but may be used for educational purposes, to contrast ...

  9. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array (or list) one item at a time by comparisons. It is much less efficient on large lists than more advanced algorithms such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort. However, insertion sort provides several advantages:
