- ipaddr 3y agoYou've never used a selection sort when sorting clothes after laundry? Or a bubble sort after halloween night sorting your candy? Could a kid asking why over and over be labelled as a recursive sort if the child is using it to sort ideas/information?
- mrhichem 3y agoYes, many! Through out my career I had to implement from scratch two sorting algorithms. First was to sort subtitles on a playing video in javascript in real-time. The second was a custom sorting algorithm of text blocks on an image.
