bad-sort

A tiny joke library that implements intentionally terrible sorting algorithms.

Algorithms

• stalinSort
  • Sorts the array by removing any values that arent in the correct order.
• sort1984
  • The array is already sorted and always has been. Big Brother is watching.
• bogosort
  • Your classic bogosort. Shuffle array until it is sorted.
• marxSort
  • Sort an array of numbers by equally distributing the values for each array index
• miracleSort
  • Waits for a miracle to be sorted
• nihilistSort
  • Deletes the array because nothing matters
• schrodingerSort
  • The returned array is both sorted and not sorted until inspected
• sisyphusSort
  • One must imagine Array#sort happy
• sleepSort
  • Sort an array of numbers by sleeping using setTimeout (async)

Feel free to contribute with anything including documentation/code fixes or new sorting algorithms

TODO

• Enterprise Sort
• gaslight sort: called by reference. It returns a different, pre-sorted list. It then proceeds to change the values stored in memory at random times
• microservices sort: make an API request to compare each pair of values
• observer sort: logging the array will show the sorted array but it will keep being unsorted (is this even possible with js)
