Has anybody here ever actually been asked to exactly implement quicksort?

• stephencanon 13y ago
  Yes, by Microsoft in 2001. (Strangely, by a non-technical recruiter who wouldn't have known if it were correct or not anyway; apparently he was trying to "gauge my confidence".)

  More than once. Also, merge sort, heap sort, and some problem specific variations of these.

  quicksort, shellsort, then implement it for parametric type.
  • lsiebert 13y ago
    I am not even sure what implementing it for a parametric type means... can someone point me to a link?
    • fazzone 13y ago
      Parametric type means to take the type as a parameter; parent was probably asked to use Generics in C# or Java or C++ templates.

        Ah, ok
