    Yeah, you're really talented at teaching. Believe me when I say you've got a real gift. And thank you for sharing it because you don't know how daunting this concept was to me when hearing it from other instructors.

    this is absolutely the best series on algorithms, I struggled a lot watching other videos, but this is really amazing, clear and short.

      @Kason Trevor thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
      Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

    Your videos as terrific, thank you. Below is what I came up with - it is almost twice as fast as your code. Why is that??
    def selection_sort(unsorted_list):
    sorted_list = []
    while len(unsorted_list) > 0:
    min_index, min = 0, unsorted_list[0]
    for i in range(0, (len(unsorted_list) - 1)):
    if unsorted_list[i] < min:
    min_index, min = i, unsorted_list[i]
    sorted_list.append(unsorted_list.pop(min_index))
    return sorted_list

      @Maryam Ashraf Below is what I did to test - setup params for "my_range" and "num_elements", or do like I did and make these arguments to your script with sys.argv.
      import sys
      import time
      import random
      my_range = int(sys.argv[1])
      num_elements = int(sys.argv[2])
      my_array = [random.randint(1, my_range) for i in range(0, num_elements)]
      start_time = time.time()
      bubble_sorted_array = list(bubble_sort(my_array))
      bubble_sort_run_time = time.time() - start_time
      start_time = time.time()
      selection_sorted_array = list(selection_sort(my_array))
      selection_sort_run_time = time.time() - start_time
      selection_sort_efficiency = bubble_sort_run_time / selection_sort_run_time
      print("bubble sort took {:.2f} seconds to run".format(bubble_sort_run_time))
      print("selection sort took {:.2f} seconds to run".format(selection_sort_run_time))
      print("selection sort was {:.2f} times more efficient than bubble sort".format(selection_sort_efficiency))

    Hi Derrick, first of all I would like to thank you for your videos. They are helping me a lot!
    I think I found an indentation error inside your script in your githup area.
    The "if min_value !=1" is not indented with the "for j", and this can cause some sort errors if the first element of the list is equal to the last element.
    thanks!
    for j in range(i+1, len(list_a)):
    if list_a[j] < list_a[min_value]:
    min_value = j
    if min_value != i:
    list_a[min_value], list_a[i] = list_a[i], list_a[min_value]
    return list_a
    print(selection_sort([6,7,8,7,6,5,4,5,6,7,6,7,8,9,7,9,0]))

  • @jiahuizhu3911
    @jiahuizhu3911 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A basic question. How come the 'changing position' could work? such as list[j], list[i] = list[i], list[j]. The first assignment should change list[j], the the second assignment will come back to i, isn't it? Has python put some secrete third item to keep the value temporarily? I am a learner on Python:) Thank you very much in advance

    • @rahulnegi456
      @rahulnegi456 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      its swapping the expression: “ a, b = b, a”, first right gets assigned to first left and second right get assigned to second left at the same time therefore swap values of a and b
      Search for one liner swapping in python you will get it!

    I did it another way i don't know if it's selection sort
    def selectionsort(mylist):
    indexing_length = len(mylist)
    sorted = []
    if indexing_length mylist[value]:
    min = mylist[value]
    mylist[0], mylist[value] = mylist[value] , mylist[0]
    mylist.pop(0)
    notsorted = mylist
    sorted.append(min)
    return sorted + selectionsort(notsorted)

  • @DispelTV
    @DispelTV 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I measure the time it takes to sort with bubble vs selection, selection always takes longer to execute. How is selection better than bubble if bubble takes less time and there's 2 for loops in selection sort which leads to higher complexity O(n^2)? Otherwise, fantastic and simple videos to learn from.

    Will this code be shorter? (prints really help to see the work of the two cycles)
    for k in range(0,n-1):
    print('for cycle, k: ', k)
    for x in range(1, n):
    print("for cycle, x:",x,a)
    if a[k] > a[x] and x > k:
    a[k], a[x] = a[x], a[k]

      min_value = i

    Hi Derrick thanks for your videos. I solved in a recursive way, take a look!
    def selection_sort(lista,sortedd):

    if len(lista) !=0:
    mini=lista[0]
    for i in lista[1:]:
    mini=min(mini,i)
    sortedd.append(mini)
    lista.remove(mini)

    selection_sort(lista,sortedd)

    return sortedd
    def sorting(lista):
    return selection_sort(lista,[])
    a=[3,3,54,2345,542,456,0,3,4,4,3,6]
    sorting(a)
    The problem is that my function requires 2 args, thats why I had to implement the second function. Is there a way to do it this way with only one function? Thanks!

    I have to say you explain well but not for a beginner, I already knew all these concepts and needed a recap and tbh i found your teaching a bit too quick, you need to explain slowly and in more detail
