Heapsort is an inplace sort with good complexity characteristics! Try that!

Narrator: Someone once tried to heapsort papers by hand. The doctors are very optimistic about his eventual return to society.

ah, heapsort

i complain because i am unhappy, blossoms heapsort, the subject fractures

let me implement heapsort in piet so i can figure out if it is in fact maximal

Good post. Good name - heapsort is the best sort.
I can tell a patient is autistic because you ask what their pain is from 1-10 while they're in excruciating pain from kidney stones and they're like "this is entirely subjective, how would I even know what a 10 feels like if I've never experienced it?" and every neurotypical person just tells you 11

I usually pick:
- the default library sorting algorithm, or
- implement INSERTION SORT for "small" datasets, or
- implement mergesort if I need stability, otherwise
- implement heapsort.

But again, it heavily depends on the context.

(Also very tangentially reminding me of a faster heapsort algorithm I wrote as a PhD student, where the 'trick' was trying to insert the new number to be sifted into the place that (on average or most likely) was close to where it ought to be.)

O meu heapsort ele verifica se ja ta ordenado antes de criar a maxheap 😎

So, the heap I invented over the weekend was introduced as the quickheap by Navarro and Paredes around 2006!
Basically: on each pop, do just enough quicksort to find the smallest element.

My implementation (the 1st??) is 2x to 4x faster than d-ary and binary heaps.

Pixel sorting using #heapSort by hue values.
Pixel=hue+brightness+saturation
Heapsort is an in-place algorithm, but it is not a stable sort. It is an improved selection sort that divides its input using a heap data structure (sorted vs unsorted region).

J'ai programmé un tri par tas (heapsort), qui en théorie est en n log n. Je mesure, je fitte une courbe, on dirait que je suis en n^1.3

Qu'ai-je encore fait.

Today (as in yesterday):

Math n°2: Limits, continuity exercises. Next up derivatives, convexity, and sequences.

Info n°2: Quicksort, heaps, heapsort, priority queues (just heaps really), definitions for complexity notations (O, Ω, Θ, o, ω). Next up methods for expliciting recurrence expressions.

Diferença de tempo de execução de um sqrtsort com insertionsort e um sqrtsort com Heapsort

O 10^8 com o insertionsort nem terminou de executar

Interesting - comparing rpi zero 2/w vs esp8266/32 running MPy, comment on native code emitter:

"I did some very quick follow up experiments, and could get 100x improvement with bubble sort using Viper emitter, and 1000x by also switching to heapsort."

author also compares mpy-c-rust-js elsewhere

Shakersort, Heapsort
Radixsort, Selectionsort

Die sind alle weniger interessant. Radix ist und bleibt ein Hexenwerk...

Vale has yet to heapsort the prosecutor because they're unchilding Invis in Monday! 🏚

Dijkstra is known for heapsort, which hardly anyone can understand. So I suspect Dijkstra had a ‘high IQ’. But he still could admit that he was too stupid to follow what van Wijngaarden was saying.
