Merge sort is entirely different than the sorting algorithms we’ve seen so far, and it represents an important class of algorithms—divide-and-conquer algorithms. Divide-and-conquer algorithms work by ...

Bucket sort and radix sort work using a distribute and collect approach without making comparisons. In appropriate use cases, these can be faster than \mathcal{O}(n \log n) algorithms like quicksort ...

The Daily Tar Heel's Margaret Hungate spoke with Merge Record's label manager, Christina Rentz, on the label’s history and influence on the music scene in the Triangle and beyond, as Merge approaches ...

Abstract: Every algorithm has its own best-case as well as its worst-case scenario, so it is difficult to determine the best sorting algorithm just by its Big-O. Not only that, the amount of memory ...
