m sort algorithm proposal (selection) |

Line 137:
: ask the same people you ask about "prime" whether they have any interest in reading about the meaning of the word "Algorithm". Some might -- but those with no grasp of maths concepts will go away happy with the intro text: "Generally, an algorithm is a list of instructions for accomplishing some task..." Knowledge builds on knowledge, and people getting this far should know that. Anyway, why don't we try writing ''several'' examples: a sort and the sieve, and leave the GCD too. We can then try and decide which is the simplest to the thick *cough* novice reader. -- [[User:Tarquin|Tarquin]]
I recommend implementing the selection sort algorithm, whether there will be only the sort algorithm or other ones as example(s). It being simple to understand is an issue, that's the right algorithm. Its correctness is easy to get. [[User:Tcascardo | TCascardo]]
