If you ever need to sort character strings stored in SQL Server fields, check out this demonstration of how to write a common sorting algorithm using SQL Server TSQL code.

Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have ...

PhD student Timo Bingmann has created an amazing video showing sorting algorithms in action. And it's surprisingly awesome!

On the site you can visualize and compare a whole bunch of algorithms, from common implementations like Quick Sort and Bubble Sort, to more quirky examples like Cocktail Sort and Gnome Sort (really).

For example, the complexity of sorting N numbers using the bubble sort method is O (N2) and using merge sort method is O (NlogN). This doesn't mean we consume N2 and NlogN processor clock cycles in ...
