Heaps are ubiquitous in computer science. If you need the minimum, or maximum of a collection, few choices are better than a heap for getting them. Heap-forming algorithms are the foundation of many different algorithms and data structures. From heapso
For the first 15 years or so of computing if you wanted an in-place general purpose sorting algorithm you were stuck with O(n^2) sorting algorithms. Insertion sort, selection sort, and bubble sort were about as far as
Searching and sorting are the two most common processes performed on a computer, and for that reason a lot of research has gone into the various methods of performing those tasks. Range searching is an expansion of general sear
Mergesort is a beautiful algorithm. I make no secret of it being my favorite sorting algorithm (everybody has one of those, right?) and so I like to spend time playing around with it, thinking of different ways of implementing the concept. In this post
I see this question get raised on various forums and message boards all the time: "How do you reverse a Linked List?". I'm sure it's a leetcode question, but I'm too lazy to confirm. It's one of those questions that (nowadays) lacks real world applicab
