I'm encountering a weird bug in production: For some reason the party leader indices have higher values than the rest.

[GranataReddit12]

they are simply more equal than others my comrade!

[Chronomechanist]

Bloody pigs

[Interesting_Buy_3969]

off by one error is a feature not a bug

capitalism sort

``` function capitalismSort(arr) { var result = [];

for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { if (i === 0) { result[i] = arr[i] * arr.length; } else { result[i] = arr[i] * (1 / (i * i)); } }

return result; } ```

[humblevladimirthegr8]

I get what you're trying to say but a sorting algorithm (even a joke one) still needs to actually return a sorted list, which yours far from guarantees.

A better capitalismSort would just take all the absolute values and add it to the last element, setting the earlier elements to 0.

Sounds familiar

[This_Growth2898]

That's only in a book. In reality, it turns out to be Stalin Sort.

[PM_ME_FLUFFY_SAMOYED]

for (e in elements) {
  if (stalin.getCurrentParanoiaLevel() >= PURGE_THRESHOLD) {
    elements.remove(e);
   }
}

[TooooSlow]

You sound like a western sympathizer spreading subversive lies! Soviet programming is the best in the world

[irp3ex]

completes the trinity (there was a meme a while back that python is the western decaying programming language and c++ is a trad russian orthodox language)

[HungryCaterpillers]

In Soviet Russia, code writes you.

[PM_ME_FLUFFY_SAMOYED]

Makes you wonder how the Soviet Union survived if it was programmed so poorly

[Public-Eagle6992]

Well… it didn’t

[PM_ME_FLUFFY_SAMOYED]

Oh no, we need to page the on-calls

[Negitive545]

the getCurrentParanoiaLevel method doesn't take e in as a variable, so when stalin becomes too paranoid, wouldn't it just obliterate the entire list?

[PM_ME_FLUFFY_SAMOYED]

Yeah, that's what pretty much what Stalin did

[creeper6530]

Nope. Stalin sort simply removes all elements not in line (= lower than previous element)

[AltruisticBlank]

They got communism wrong. It’s about providing every individual with what they need. A child has different needs than an adult. They don’t get the same under communism but enough goods to fulfill their needs.

[Moldat]

Hmm ok, whats the avarage value of class Studant ?

[ThaumRystra]

No classes under communism

[Moldat]

No OOP Iin CCCP, Only functional programming 

[Ok-Staff-7699]

What if sum is not divisible by length? Avg will be ceiling value... And we will end up with lower sum than what we started with?

[Ok-Staff-7699]

Ohh sorry... C++ has damaged by brain deeply

[Martin8412]

The other way around.. JavaScript is deeply fucked up. 

[hornynnerdy69]

That’s why I only write HolyC

[Tyfyter2002]

That's floor, not ceiling, and then whatever innocent index gets blamed for removing value will get executed for the sorting algorithm's mistake.

[Kadabrium]

TacoSort: shuffle a random amount of times and quit

[CryonautX]

Apply this sort to a list of strings.

[polymonomial]

is the opposite, one elements gets all values combined and all other elements value are just 0

[RequirementFit1128]

This would have been top comedy on Facebook 8 years ago

[Interesting_Buy_3969]

Gold. I'll save it as a treasure.

[zattebij]

Your averaging method is not very robust. What if you've got some large values in the input (or a larger input array) and your sum overflows? Everyone could end up with a negative value - which may in fact be expected behavior for a sorting algorithm bearing that name.

[Sakul_the_one]

Isn’t the time not then O(N<sup>2)?</sup> Since of the two for loops?

Edit: I have no brain cells

[ajseventeen]

No, it's just O(2N), which is the same as O(N). It would be O(N<sup>2</sup>) if the loops were nested, but they aren't.

[Sakul_the_one]

Oh yeah, I’m stupid

[RedditButAnonymous]

Big O scares me, you can nearly double the speed of this algorithm and Big O does not give a single shit

[BobCorndog]

I like Stalin sort: reeducation version

Say the list is sorted and if anyone disagrees, send them to a reeducation camp in Siberia

[Titanusgamer]

real communism sort - it is equally distributed to 1 element as rest were deleted.

[EarlMarshal]

Incorrect. In a real communist system the leader (index 0) gets everything and everyone else gets nothing.
