Cocktail Sort

Cocktail sort, also known as bidirectional bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sort, shuffle sort, shuttle sort or happy hour sort, is a variation of bubble sort that is both a stable sorting algorithm and a comparison sort. The algorithm differs from a bubble sort in that it sorts in both directions on each pass through the list. This sorting algorithm is only marginally more difficult to implement than a bubble sort, and solves the problem of turtles in bubble sorts.

Famous quotes containing the word sort:

    that warm metamorphosis of snow
    as gentle as the sort that woodsmen know
    who, lost in the white circle, fall at last
    and dream their way to death.
    Patricia K. Page (b. 1916)
