The owner of the site asked me to post a few things ( articles , algorithms in C/C++ ) . Here’s a few basic sorts in C++, some slow sorts like Bubble Sort , Selection sort that are good for very small cases and a couple of faster sorts that are good for larger numbers of item ( I don’t have time to list the best and worst cases and best uses for each sort today ) Quicksort and MergeSort . Here is the code:
Selection Sort ( slow sort for a small number of items ):
