How To Do Selection Sort in C++
Sorting algorithms are fundamental to many computer science problems, and understanding how they work is crucial for optimizing performance. In this post, we’ll explore Selection Sort, a simple but inefficient sorting algorithm. We’ll go through the algorithm...
Mahalanobis Distance in C++
Introduction Distance calculations are fundamental in many domains, such as machine learning, statistics, and data analysis. Mahalanobis distance stands out for its ability to measure the distance between a point and a distribution, accounting for correlations between...
How To Do Quick Sort in C++
Introduction Quick Sort is a highly efficient sorting algorithm developed by Tony Hoare in 1959. It employs a divide-and-conquer strategy to sort elements in an array or list. Quick Sort is renowned for its average-case time complexity of O(n log n), making it...
Understanding std::popcount in C++20
In this guide, we'll explore std::popcount, a C++ feature that efficiently counts the number of set bits (1s) in an integer. We'll look at how it works internally, its optimizations, and practical examples of its usage. Table of Contents Introduction to Population...
How to Calculate Hamming Distance in C++ (With C++20, Bit Shifting, Strings, and More)
The Hamming distance measures the difference between two strings of equal length, typically used for binary sequences. It counts the number of positions where the corresponding bits or characters differ. This distance is widely used in error detection and correction...
How To Do Heap Sort in C++
Heap Sort is an efficient, comparison-based sorting algorithm that uses a binary heap data structure to sort elements in place. It offers a guaranteed time complexity of O(n log n) in all cases, making it reliable for large datasets. In this blog post, we’ll explain...
Shell Sort in C++
How to Implement Shell Sort in C++ (With Code Example and Pseudocode) Shell Sort is a fast, comparison-based sorting algorithm that improves upon insertion sort by allowing comparisons between elements that are far apart. This C++ implementation follows the same...
How to Do Shell Sort in Python
Introduction Shell Sort is an efficient, in-place, comparison-based sorting algorithm that generalizes insertion sort by allowing the exchange of items that are far apart. It’s named after its inventor, Donald Shell, who introduced it in 1959. Shell sort is...
How To Do Comb Sort in Python
Introduction Comb sort is a relatively simple yet efficient comparison-based sorting algorithm that improves bubble sort by eliminating turtles (small values at the end of the list) early on. It introduces a gap between compared elements, gradually shrinking...
How to Do Pigeonhole Sort in Python
Pigeonhole sort is a simple sorting algorithm that is efficient for sorting lists where the number of elements and the range of possible key values are approximately the same. This algorithm distributes elements into "pigeonholes" based on their key values. It’s ideal...
