sorting
-
inversions in a sequence is a pair of elements that are out of order with respect to the ordering relation. a sorting algorithm is a sequence of operations that reduces inversions to zero.
-
a topological sort of a directed graph is a way of ordering the list of nodes such that if
(a, b)
is a edge of the graph, thena
appears beforeb
. this type of sorting does not work if a graph has cycles or is not directed. -
because of their efficiencies, you usually want to use either merge sort or quick sort (
O(N log (N)
). -
other type of sorting algorithms can be seen below and in this directory's source code:
