After watching this, I was finally able to sort my life out

1:32 4 Elements, 2-3-1-5, sort in ascending order. Nested 4 loop
3:42 Condition satisfied = swap places
7:15 Array

Wait a minute. I just had a pre-placement talk in the morning where we were told to prepare Quick and Merge Sort and look who came to rescue us 😊. Thank you so much Free Code Camp🙌

I used to write a program to visualize the behavior of sorting algorithms. I would suggest displaying some animations. It helped me a lot when I need to imagine how the algorithm works.

I was just searching for this yesterday. FCC saves another day!

[sydguitar]

Thats why I prefer a for loop over a while loop bc the for loop forces you to place the incrementor

A good explanation. One thing to point out: the variable declaration made it a bit more difficult to understand the point. Usually, giving variables a single letter declaration is a bad practice among programmers.

Thanks man, I'm a PHP developer but I understood the concept very clearly.

[whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

After being recommended a bunch of sorting algorithm memes, this is what it lead me to.

This guy is just making things complicated for beginners, I just came here to revise but ended up with a headache 😂

[vivekuttangi]

Please start dsa series in c++, for beginner competitive programmers.

[CompilerStuck]

Visualizing these algorithms helped me alot understanding them

[marina]

I came for a meme and ended up learning programming

You are angels! Best Regards from Brazil!

[vijaykumar-czot]

Thank you ❤️.. all the more glory it's in C++ 🔥

[erykaemilien]

I was just about to do this in class. Thanks freecodecamp!

[albatroshd]

Beautiful drawing skill haha. Thanks for the Video!

[Jkauppa]

hey, try median bucket sort, its 2n log n, ie, first linear median search O(n) then split the elements to two buckets, repeat for sub-buckets, its a stable n log n version of the quick sort

[elisaszilagyi]

Your video is very useful! Although you speak so fast, your explanation helped a lot. Thanks!

[capistrano]

Thank you for zooming the code so I can see from small screen smart phone
