I was reading through a paper about block merge sort and in the article was a list of helper functions that the algorithm utilizes during its execution. This list was kind of a "who's who" of array manipulation algorithms. Thes

In the early days of computing when computer science practitioners worked in incredibly resource constrained environments, and the vast tomes of research into efficient sorting had yet to be composed and algorithmic complexity

Often times when we have a collection of values, we are more interested in the order statistics of the collection: find the min value, find the max value, find the K'th smallest value, and what have you. There are a number of data structu

Heaps are ubiquitous in computer science. If you need the minimum, or maximum of a collection, few choices are better than a heap for getting them. Heap-forming algorithms are the foundation of many different algorithms and data structures. From heapso
