### 6.1.1 allsorts.ex

Comparison of different sorting algorithms.

#### 6.1.1.1 Notes

The slower sorts will be omitted after a while.

Bucket sort looks really good, but remember that the other sorts are generic, and can handle integers, floating-point numbers, strings, etc. Bucket sort can only sort integers, and the integers need to be in a reasonably small, well-defined range, as is the case in this benchmark. It also uses more memory than some of the other sorts.

#### 6.1.1.2 quick_sort

    include allsorts.ex
    global function quick_sort(sequence x)

#### 6.1.1.3 hybrid_sort

    include allsorts.ex
    global function hybrid_sort(sequence x)

#### 6.1.1.4 great_sort

    include allsorts.ex
    global function great_sort(sequence a)

#### 6.1.1.5 merge_sort

    include allsorts.ex
    global function merge_sort(sequence x)
