But thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful!
This guy was pretty funny.
I’m trying to sort my list to do binary search but it is taking hours to run. I know it works because when the list is small it only took a few seconds, but for my list with 200 elements it’s taken over 2 hours. I don’t know what’s wrong. Can anyone help?
def sort_list(l):
I know python has sort built in but I wanted to try writing my own.def helper(i, j): if i >= j: return m = (i + j) // 2 helper(i, m) helper(m + 1, j) if l[m] > l[j]: l[m], l[j] = l[j], l[m] helper(i, j - 1) helper(0, len(l) - 1)
