🐍 Algorithms

Well-known computer science algorithms published for practice and educational purposes.

Sorting

Bubble, selection and insertion sort algorithms were implemented to retrieve all iterations of their respective processes, instead of the sorted items.

Bubble

>>> bubble_sort([3, 2, 1])
[[3, 2, 1], [2, 3, 1], [2, 1, 3], [1, 2, 3]]
>>> bubble_sort([1, 2, 3], ascending=False)
[[1, 2, 3], [2, 1, 3], [2, 3, 1], [3, 2, 1]]

Selection

>>> selection_sort([3, 1, 2])
[[3, 1, 2], [1, 3, 2], [1, 2, 3]]
>>> selection_sort([2, 1, 3], ascending=False)
[[2, 1, 3], [3, 1, 2], [3, 2, 1]]

Insertion

>>> insertion_sort([3, 1, 2])
[[3, 1, 2], [1, 3, 2], [1, 2, 3]]
>>> insertion_sort([2, 1, 3], ascending=False)
[[2, 1, 3], [2, 3, 1], [3, 2, 1]]

Merge

Returns a list of tuples containing all merges performed.

>>> merge_sort([2, 3, 1])
[([3, 1], [1, 3]), ([2, 3, 1], [1, 2, 3])]
>>> merge_sort([2, 1, 3], ascending=False)
[([1, 3], [3, 1]), ([2, 1, 3], [3, 2, 1])]
