Look inside

Sorting is one of the most important skills you can learn to make sense of messy data—and in this liveProject, you’ll discover sorting algorithms you can implement with Rust. You don’t need advanced Rust knowledge. With only the basics, you’ll tackle three of the huge number of sorting algorithms available: bubble sort, quicksort, and counting sort. But that’s not all: You’ll also experiment with a pair of search algorithms for linear and binary search. Before long, you’ll have an excellent grasp of the best sort and search algorithms for your needs.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
