Integer (computer science) at least 32 bits on any computer. Programmers may also incorrectly assume that a pointer can be converted to an integer without loss of information, which may work on (some) 32-bit computers, but fail on 64-bit computers with 64-bit pointers and 32-bit integers. A "short integer" can represent a whole number that may take less storage, while having a smaller range, compared with a standard integer on the same machine. In C, it is denoted by short. It is required to be at least 16 bits, and is often smaller than a standard integer, but this is not required. A
Bead sort bead sort is unusual in that in worst case it can perform faster than "O"("n" log "n"), the fastest performance possible for a comparison sort in worst case. This is possible because the key for a bead sort is always a positive integer and bead sort exploits its structure. This example is written in Python. The strategy for "dropping" the beads may be slightly different, but it does the same job. def Gravity(obj): """how it does it: it counts the "beads" in each column, then uses those numbers to make a new set of rows. Adding up the beads in
