This camper was able to pass the tests but their algorithm didn't perform a swap of the smallest element and the first unsorted element. def selection_sort(items ...

As the world races to build artificial superintelligence, one maverick bioengineer is testing how much unprogrammed intelligence may already be lurking in our simplest algorithms to determine whether ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...

The SEC has seven teams still alive for the playoff, but only four are probably going to make it in. While there may be some debate over if Texas is as good as the Longhorns' record indicates, we find ...

We then select the next smallest element in the array, which is 3. 3 is already in the correct position, so we don't need to swap it. We then select the next smallest element in the array, which is 4.

The waste crisis is devastating our planet. A lot of the stuff we throw gets dumped in landfills. These massive waste disposal sites are often created by destroying forests or inhabitable lands. For ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to compare the complexity of three simple sort algorithm; selection sort algorithm, bubble sort algorithm, and insertion sort algorithm. The measurement of the ...
