The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Just in case you want a graphical explanation:
Bubble-sort with Hungarian ("Csángó") folk dance - YouTube[^]
and others:
Quick-sort with Hungarian (Küküllőmenti legényes) folk dance - YouTube[^]
Merge-sort with Transylvanian-saxon (German) folk dance - YouTube[^]
Insert-sort with Romanian folk dance - YouTube[^]
Select-sort with Gypsy folk dance - YouTube[^]
BINARY search with FLAMENCO dance - YouTube[^]

and more generic and faster:
15 Sorting Algorithms in 6 Minutes - YouTube[^]

I like this comparison too:
Visualization and Comparison of Sorting Algorithms - YouTube[^]

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
