Sorting was introduced in Monday's lecture. For some students in CSC 148, this is somewhat review. It was interesting to see Danny compare sorting methods to a life example like srting a hand of cards. I never made the conection how similar the two were until seeing it in class. It just seemed natural before. Personally I would use insertion sort for a hand of cards. Something like merge sort would be odd, although equally affective.
I like how by fixing up some code, you can make sorting time in applications faster. This could be very usuful in large projects.
Note: An algorithm will never take 0 or less seconds. If it does, get that thing patented!
Note to self: Learn L'Hopital's Rle - I will come in handy when trying to find limits.
