  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. Cocktail shaker sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocktail_shaker_sort

    Cocktail shaker sort, [1] also known as bidirectional bubble sort, [2] cocktail sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sort, shuffle sort, [3] or shuttle sort, is an extension of bubble sort. The algorithm extends bubble sort by operating in two directions. While it improves on bubble sort by more ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Comb sort is a relatively simple sorting algorithm based on bubble sort and originally designed by Włodzimierz Dobosiewicz in 1980. [36] It was later rediscovered and popularized by Stephen Lacey and Richard Box with a Byte Magazine article published in April 1991.

    Cocktail shaker sort or bidirectional bubble sort, a bubble sort traversing the list alternately from front to back and back to front; Comb sort; Gnome sort; Odd–even sort; Quicksort: divide list into two, with all items on the first list coming before all items on the second list.; then sort the two lists. Often the method of choice

  6. 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 .

    The worstsort algorithm is based on a bad sorting algorithm, badsort. The badsort algorithm accepts two parameters: L, which is the list to be sorted, and k, which is a recursion depth. At recursion level k = 0, badsort merely uses a common sorting algorithm, such as bubblesort, to sort its inputs and return

    Paying homage to the sort of easy-to-follow instructions popularized by Ikea—which has pledged to use only renewable energy by 2020—we've crafted a simple how-to kit for transitioning to a low-carbon economy. So, in that spirit, let's say these are the instructions to Framtiden —the future.

    Then the gap is divided by the shrink factor again, the list is sorted with this new gap, and the process repeats until the gap is 1. At this point, comb sort continues using a gap of 1 until the list is fully sorted. The final stage of the sort is thus equivalent to a bubble sort, but by this time most turtles have been dealt with, so a bubble ...
