Basic Sorting

When we have a few objects be it of any kind, and we want to sort them this means that we want to rearrange them somehow so that they follow some order, an order that we define.  We can take for example one of the fields, for example if we have sheep, and each sheep has a name, and we want to order the sheep by name then we could just take any sheep and first place the sheep named Avida, and then take the sheep named Guliantra and so on, lexicographically.

Respectively we could sort the sheep that we have by their age, and in this case Guliantra could end up before Avida.

In computer algorithms, sorting is the like the basic algorithms, and you will find that to solve many other problems you would start by first sorting and then progress to actually solve the problem.

API Design Paper Summary

Introduction

Is building API a solvable question, how far can we get into having good API’s and what is a good API at all? these are all very hard questions, usually you know the answers once you designed multiple APIs and got experience and then reviewed the decisions you have taken.
