Comments on: IB Extended Essay: An empirical comparison of the runtime of five sorting algorithms http://julianapena.com Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:12:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Horseface-san http://julianapena.com/projects/ib-extended-essay/comment-page-1/#comment-449 Horseface-san Mon, 23 Aug 2010 22:06:00 +0000 http://julianapena.com/?page_id=70#comment-449 Haha, I think this must be the first EE I've seen that was not boring :P I don't use sorting algorithms (Or at least I'm not working on anything that's gonna use 'em) but it's interesting to get to know them, didn't know how Shell and Insertion sort worked until I read this. And I don't use python either but the timeit module looks really interesting, especially with the really precise measurements it gives (dunno if they're *accurate* to that many decimal places though lol), but anyways, it beats the C/C++ timers by a large margin so I might give it a try the next time I wanna time some process ^^ Thanks for the useful stuff I guess ;) Haha, I think this must be the first EE I’ve seen that was not boring :P I don’t use sorting algorithms (Or at least I’m not working on anything that’s gonna use ‘em) but it’s interesting to get to know them, didn’t know how Shell and Insertion sort worked until I read this.
