An interesting post that, I believe, has nothing to do with fortran.
Sorting works for people who work at it. I was, literally, sorting packages
at UPS at an unseen rate five hours before my class in numerical methods.
The two just blurred together, and When Dr. Long saw me sleeping through
every single class, he let me withdraw.
Sorting begins with pre-selection. Before you touch a package, you either
know what you're gouing to fdo with it, or reaize that you're going to
improv. It's a binary decision. Middle yellow, grand rapids, means 0
steps. The flux of packages that went from Toeldo to Grand Rapids without
me moving a muscle on my lower body were, again, historic.
Top tan is behind you one step with your right foot. You hook packages up
to it with the big right. Since you carry a teamster card, it's somebody's
else's fault if somebody else's face is in your road. pete knew better.
It's nice to have the support of the black belt: Columbus.
Middle blue is off your hip. It's where you throw the packages so hard,
that when you know know you've dinged one, you call ahead on the retape,
because, of course, you pre-sort for the big picture: 16 belts. That's a
realm where a binary sort is unusually effective, as sixteen divides the
order of the monster.
I was juggling a basketball rim, an air conditioner, a basketball, a cigar
and a fish named wanda, an opus in five parts. The
lightly-oiled,lemon-peppered, broiled-to-perfection salmon appears to have
won. Maybe Elliot did; I can never tell. Anyways, the problem with the
upthread algorithm is that it doesn't change its angle appropiraiately.
pete and user^10^6 can speak to this.
