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
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
