Re: Making bubble sort look good

The jargon file has a nice entry on this, bogo-sort. I suppose their code would look like:

use Quantum::Superpositions qw(any);

return any(splatterSort(@list) and isSorted(@list));

Then again, I've never used the Quantum functions-- and yes, I know you can't 'destroy the Universe' just by using DConway's modules... yet.

Aha! I knew I'd seen something like that somewhere before. That's probably where I picked it up, since I read the jargon list from end to end a while back. (It's hard to beat "The Story of Mel") I wasn't kidding about the traumatically bad assignments those students handed in, though... -- Mike	[reply]
