UPD. I’ve moved my posts to my personal blog. I enjoy experimenting with programming paradigms and trying out some interesting (to me) ideas (some things become posts, like this and that). Recently I decided to see if I can write object-oriented code in a functional language. Idea I was trying to…

Last time I told you a bit about bubble sort. Bubble sort is cool, however, you will never use it. This time I am going to show you a sorting algorithm faster than the one implemented in your language — counting sort. True story. Performance The most popular sorting algorithm —…

In the first post, we’ve taken a look at the binary search. Let’s continue with some simple sorting algorithms. I will start with my favourite one — bubble sort. The algorithm The algorithm goes through the array and compares each element with the next one. …

I decided to refresh my memory on basic data structures and algorithms. As an additional fun challenge, I decided to try and implement them in different programming languages/style. Let’s give a good old binary search a go. The simplest of them all. The algorithm Binary search is a fast way of finding…

UPD. please read the post on my personal blog I love Ruby. I also love object-oriented programming. However, nowadays functional programming is getting more and more attention. And that’s not surprising because the functional paradigm has a lot of advantages. Ruby, being a multi-paradigm language, allows us to write programs…

UPD. I’ve migrated my posts to my personal blog Object-Oriented Programming to me means that the system is divided into objects. An object is just an entity that has some state and some behaviour. …

The Elm Architecture gives us a reactive framework for creating web applications. It’s built around three parts: Model, View, and Update. However, that means that your whole app logic has to be centralised in one place: all your data should be in the single state (model) and all events are…
