Bookshelves and Code: The Art of Efficient Problem Solving

Need to organize your bookshelf or tackle a similar task? (No need to be Picasso to come up with a few other scenarios!) You have three approaches: Bubble Sort – Simple but slow, not the most efficient. Insertion Sort – On average, you only need to compare about half of the items that came before. Quick Sort – Breaks down the items into several partitions, making it faster to sort. Surprisingly, programmers use Quick Sort to optimize code and deliver better results. From my experience, whether the challenge is physical or programming-related, the most crucial step is defining the variables and establishing a clear problem-solving framework. How you approach this will determine whether the solution takes three hours or nearly ten days! Sometimes, there’s more depth than meets the eye. https://youtu.be/WaNLJf8xzC4
