In this article, we present the bubble sort and merge sort algorithms. We discuss the cycle counts of these algorithms on the Blackfin processor, and show how to reduce the cycle count of the bubble ...

Both a sorted array and a binary tree can let you look up an element in log(N) time. However I would expect a sorted array to be faster in practice because of the constant factor. However inserting ...

When you’re trying to learn how an algorithm works, it’s not always easy to visualize what’s going on. Well, except for maybe binary sort, thanks to the phone book. Professor [thatguyer] is a computer ...

Suffix arrays serve as a fundamental tool in string processing by indexing all suffixes of a text in lexicographical order, thereby facilitating fast pattern searches, text retrieval, and genome ...

Do you need to know how to sort Java objects in a collection, array, or map? Here's how to use the Comparable and Comparator interfaces and avoid ClassCastExceptions. Programmers frequently need to ...

Data structures and algorithms in Java, Part 2 introduced a variety of techniques for searching and sorting one-dimensional arrays, which are the simplest arrays. In this tutorial you’ll explore ...
