LP0 ON FIRE posted:thanks that is good info this isn't quite correct. The thing about most sorting algorithms is that they don't require you to compare the whole list to itself at every step. they exploit the nature of arrays or lists to split up the work involved to reduce the number of comparisons involved. a good sorting algorithm, like merge sort, can be proven mathematically to place things in the correct order with no need to check the entire list at the end to verify that it's entirely sorted. it is instead simply a property of the algorithm that things end up sorted.

seriously in any bachelor's level algos or data structure course almost everything you study will be from prior to the 70s. all that's left to study are the things that were too hard to do in the last 70 years.

carry on then posted:algos class seems like one that really benefits from being taught by someone who is skilled at teaching, not just algorithms. mine was more of an infodump (with CLRS as the text lmao) and i feel like i'll have to do a bunch of self study the next time im out interviewing because i never really got it agreed. my professor was this guy and while he is clearly brilliant he was a struggle to understand at times: http://www.cs.wisc.edu/people/dieter his domain of research was specifically trying to prove p=np
