Sorting Algorithms — Boring Until You Add Sound 118
An anonymous reader writes "Anyone who's ever taken a programming course or tried to learn how to code out of a book will have come across sorting algorithms. Bubble, heap, merge — there's a long list of methods for sorting data. The subject matter is fairly dry. Thankfully, someone has found a way to not only make sorting more interesting, but easier to remember and understand, too."

Wonderful. Just what we needed for the next generation of science fiction movies. Audible sorting!

I also noticed that they have Gnomesort, but not KDEsort. :-)

That's strange. When I listen to the sound of bubble sort all I hear is one of my college professors threatening to hunt me down and kill me in my sleep if I ever use it.

This guy did have not-annoying sounds related to the algorithm. Also the quality is much higher.

I was looking for Bogosort [wikipedia.org] myself, actually.
