# Sample implementation of quicksort and mergesort in ruby | |
# Both algorithm sort in O(n * lg(n)) time | |
# Quicksort works inplace, where mergesort works in a new array | |
def quicksort(array, from=0, to=nil) | |
if to == nil | |
# Sort the whole array, by default | |
to = array.count - 1 | |
end |
When learning about sorting algorithms, I wanted to implement them to help me understand them better. This algorithm was originally invented by John von Neumann in 1948.
The Ruby script attached explains in real code what is going on. Play about with it.
