"Why sort when you can just delete?" - A wise person, probably
Deletion sort is a revolutionary algorithm that solves the age-old problem of sorting with a simple, yet brutal approach: just delete everything and call it a day! It's the programming equivalent of "if it doesn't work, just turn it off and back on again."
- Runs in a blistering O(1) time complexity! (Because it doesn't actually sort anything)
- Guaranteed to produce an empty (and therefore sorted) array or table every time!
- Saves you the hassle of writing complex sorting logic.
- Frees up disk space by deleting your precious data.
- Provides a great excuse for losing all your work: "Oops, I ran the deletionsort algorithm!"
pip install deletionSort
npm i deletionsort
original_data = [3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9]
print("Original data:", original_data)
khalas(original_data)
print("Sorted data:", original_data) # Output: Sorted data: []
const khalas = require('deletionsort')
let array = [1,3,4,6,7,];
console.log(khalas(array));
-- SQL
DROP TABLE employees; -- Goodbye, employee records!
Use at your own risk! While the deletionsort algorithm is incredibly efficient, it may lead to undesirable side effects, such as:
> Loss of important data
> Getting fired from your job
> Angry customers or coworkers
> Existential dread
We recommend using this algorithm only for educational purposes or when you really, really don't like your data. Contributing
If you have any ideas for improving the deletionsort algorithm, such as adding more delete options or implementing a "shred" feature, feel free to open a pull request! We're always looking for ways to make data deletion even more efficient and destructive.
Happy sorting (or should we say, deleting)!
