In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...

Do you need to know how to sort Java objects in a collection, array, or map? Here's how to use the Comparable and Comparator interfaces and avoid ClassCastExceptions. Programmers frequently need to ...

Efficient algorithms can enhance problem-solving in many cognitive domains but can be difficult to discover and use. For example, classical studies of seriation suggest that children struggle to apply ...

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [thatguyer] is a computer ...

Data structures and algorithms in Java, Part 2 introduced a variety of techniques for searching and sorting one-dimensional arrays, which are the simplest arrays. In this tutorial you’ll explore ...
