Sorting Working Python

Question

I have tried making sorting the number list,

https://code.sololearn.com/cMKtKArcBenY/

and I dont know, what algorithm is it called because I coded it thinking its algorithm myself.

But it doesnt sort the numbers well. It works up to some extent, i.e 30%
Any suggestion how to solve it?

Answer 1

On line 25, replace

sort_prev_repeat(sorted_array)

with

sorted_array = sort_prev_repeat(sorted_array)

The algorithm you have implemented here is called "insertion sort", by the way.

Answer 4

Sarthak 🇳🇵 according to which algorithm are you trying to sort the list?

Answer 5

Sarthak 🇳🇵 lol. If u explain me like what is ur desired output, then I would be probavly be able to solve the problem.

No, I wanted to sort using my own sorting algorithm.

Sorry, for for less-clarification of code. I'll try to provide you clarification tomorrow in a paper, and here it's time to sleep now.

I know that. I was just trying to understand the algorithm that my brain uses to sort array. And just tried to implement that algorithm in python.

Answer 9

Why not use the built in sort() or sorted()

Answer 10

as Justus said it, it's better to use the built in fonctions, they are more optimized and avoid you headaches!

Answer 11

alright, there is a Sololearn course about sorting:
