This camper was able to pass the tests but their algorithm didn't perform a swap of the smallest element and the first unsorted element. def selection_sort(items ...

Sometimes, reading Python code just isn’t enough to see what’s really going on. You can stare at lines for hours and still miss how variables change, or why a bug keeps popping up. That’s where a ...

Children as young as 4 years old are capable of finding efficient solutions to complex problems, such as independently inventing sorting algorithms developed by computer scientists. The scientists ...

If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle the easiest pieces first. But this kind of sorting has a cost.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Computer scientists often deal with abstract problems that are hard to comprehend, but an exciting new algorithm matters to anyone who ...
