Marge Sort: Divide And Conquer

Marge Sort: Divide And Conquer
Ah yes, merge sort illustrated with Marge Simpson's hair gradually being sorted by length. Divide and conquer, just like how I divide and conquer the last donut in the break room when nobody's looking. The algorithm splits the array of Marges, sorts each subarray, then merges them back together. O(n log n) complexity, which is coincidentally how long it takes to explain to management why we can't just "add a button that does everything."

A brilliant algorithm visualization using Marge Simpson's iconic blue hair as the sorting key! This is a perfect pun on "Merge Sort" (a divide-and-conquer sorting algorithm with O(n log n) complexity) replaced with "Marge Sort" - where Marge Simpson heads are recursively divided into smaller subgroups, sorted by hair height, and then merged back together in proper ascending order. Notice how the algorithm perfectly maintains stability - Marges with the same hair height maintain their relative positions. Sorting has never been so... hair-raising .

Ah yes, the infamous "Stalin Sort" - where elements that don't fit the desired order simply... disappear. While Quicksort and Merge Sort are busy doing honest algorithmic work, Stalin Sort just executes any element that's out of place and moves on. No recursion, no partitioning, just cold, efficient elimination. O(n) performance guaranteed because dissenting elements aren't given a second chance. Probably not what they teach in CS classes, but hey, it technically produces a sorted array!
