Nick -
this
3 {. \: 6 3 9 6 7 5
is _not_ sorting: it's "grading" which can be much more useful than sorting.
For instance, in this case, you don't have to move around the entire array
- you can simply extract the indexes you need. It's also pretty efficient,
if that's why you're concerned about avoiding it.
I'm actually looking for examples like this because I'd like to compose an
essay on grading and its advantages over sorting, so I'd be interested if
you would keep us updated on what you're doing with this and how it works
out.
Regards,
Devon
