Sentynel: And now for something completely different:
Sentynel: Here is the quicksort algorithm in the form of a folk dance.

LaZorra: Sentynel; THAT IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN
Sentynel: LaZ: Their channel has videos for quicksort, merge sort, shell sort, select sort, bubble sort and insert sort. Mostly with different types of folk dance.
LaZorra: That is...I can't even...
Sentynel: You're welcome.
LaZorra: "Hungarian folk dance is such a slow programming language." LOL
Sentynel: You could probably craft a Turing-complete Hungarian folk dance.
LaZorra: O.o
Sentynel: If xkcd can simulate a universe with an infinite plain of rocks in the sand, I'm simulating a universe with an infinite Hungarian folk dance.
ThePhan: That's a lot of dancing Hungarian folk.
Sentynel: Yep.
Maryam: Can an infinite number of Hungarian folk dancers eventually stamp out the entire works of Shakespeare in the dirt with their feet?
Sentynel: Yes. Yes they can.
* ThePhan will now incorporate Hungarian folk dancers into every high school production she ever directs.
