Visualizing 70 Sorting Algorithms

Full explanation video: • Every Sorting Algorith...
This video shows off my sorting algorithm visualization program that I made with c++ and sfml. I programmed the algorithms myself in order to properly understand them for the explanation video. For smooth, poplar, wiki, and grail, I didn't have time to program them, so I used ArrayV. The sound effects in this video are mostly musescore samples or audacity generated tones, chirps, etc.

[@gamerguyrandom]

so many piano keys being slammed into my ears i like heap and comb tho

[@jimiwills]

Your voice sounds better ❤ Gnome reminded me of pigeon street. I like odd even, and others that maintain variety of pitch throughout... Alternate bitonic.basic in place merge. The actual sound for weave is nice. Identity crisis is obviously the best. Grail sounds like some radio data mode.

[@shirleyandjessie]

[@thehipponugget3287]

Def Bitonic w/ parallel processors

[@BenK1122]

Grail takes you on a journey. It initially sounds like random noise (because it is). Then it shifts into an almost musical noise and finally shifts to a space laser battle.

[@A_literal_cube]

There is a version of this video, in which quantum bogo sort actually sorted the list.

[@GamemodePC]

dont play with quantum bogo sort

[@charlesmartin1972]

The many words hypothesis is equivalent to the Copenhagen interpretation, which does not need to invoke parallel universes in exchange for observational decoherence; the trick to implementing bogosort in the Copenhagen interpretation is to make any state where the list is unsorted lead to a contradiction, therefore leaving only the sorted list as a possible output. So, doing exactly the same math but interpreting it differently, we save n!-1 universes from certain destruction

[@ceremyjlarkson9475]

[@astropeter31415]

Shell Sort and Selection Sort is two of my favorite algorithms!But Shell Sort is my most favorite algorithm.I used Selection Sort in my school.

[@Matyanson]

My favorite is Insertion sort! 1) Binary insertion: It is the best at what it does (inserting into sorted list) 2) Shell sort: so satisfiing visually (The list troughout the whole range is gradually more and more sorted) 3) Basic form: very intuitive and easy to understand while being better performing out of the simplest ones. Even the code is very minimalistic and beautiful! for i = 0 to n: for j = 0 to i: if a[i] < a[j] swap(a[i], a[j])

Radix LSD has always sounded like a starship energizing for takeoff, especially on the last few iterations.

[@sunnloc]

Min heap: Just like heap sort but it puts the smallest at the first places then reverses it when all maxes have been excrated. Baiai: Bubble and Insertion combined

[@Arkycite]

Bogo sort is sort what just mixing in random way and stopping when lines are sorted

[@HesterClapp]

Why do most visualisations not show auxiliary memory?

[@Tytoalba777]

I was waiting the entire video for Stalin sort. Was not disappointed

[@NumberVectors]

insertion looks like a half-sort stack of lines eating up the other lines (idk how to explain it it's just so cool 🤩)

[@herrhartmann3036]

It would have been more intuitive to use low notes for the high values and vice versa. That's how musical instruments actually work: A small object makes a short wavelength, which creates a "high" note. A large object makes a long wavelength, which creates a "low" note.

Well they are both different from actual merge. Tim makes sub lists of size 32-64 with insertion, and weave alternates between the two, then insertions sorts them. Sure, they do look similar, but they are different algorithms.
