Recursion is notoriously simple but also confusing, once you start thinking about it. It tends to twist my brain into knots. My goal in this article is to briefly sum up what recursion is, what it’s useful for, and why you should want to learn more a...
A while ago I wrote an explanation and implementation of the binary search algorithm in Python, but since I’ve been working a lot with JavaScript lately, I thought it would be fun to rewrite the algorithm using that language. What is binary search? B...

Selection Sort is another sorting algorithm, so it will have the same goal as Bubble Sort, which I wrote about last week in this article. The Goal of Selection Sort Given an array of unsorted values, sort them so that they end up in ascending order....
In this article I'll answer the questions: What is the goal of the algorithm? What steps does it take? and How can it be implemented in Python code? Goal Given an array of unsorted values, we want to sort them so that they end up in ascending order....
What is binary search? Binary search is an algorithm that searches an array for a specified value. You give binary search an array, and the value you want to find, and it spits out the index of that value. Goal of binary search: Binary Search's goal...
