  2. sort (Unix) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sort_(Unix)

    Here the first sort is done using column 2. -k2,2n specifies sorting on the key starting and ending with column 2, and sorting numerically. If -k2 is used instead, the sort key would begin at column 2 and extend to the end of the line, spanning all the fields in between. -k1,1 dictates breaking ties using the value in column 1, sorting ...

  3. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    A sorting algorithm is stable if whenever there are two records R and S with the same key, and R appears before S in the original list, then R will always appear before S in the sorted list. When equal elements are indistinguishable, such as with integers, or more generally, any data where the entire element is the key, stability is not an issue.

  4. Punched card sorter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card_sorter

    Multiple column sorting was commonly done by first sorting the least significant column, then proceeding, column by column, to the most significant column. This is called a least significant digit radix sort. Numeric columns have one punch in rows 0-9, possibly a sign overpunch in rows 11-12, and can be sorted in a single pass through the sorter.

  5. Help:Sortable tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Sortable_tables

    A dash after a number no longer breaks default numerical sorting of a column. Therefore, a range (30–40) now works. A plus sign after a number breaks default numerical sorting if it is in one of the first 5 cells in a column. A plus sign in an otherwise empty cell breaks default numerical sorting of a column.

  6. Radix sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort

    In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm.It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix.For elements with more than one significant digit, this bucketing process is repeated for each digit, while preserving the ordering of the prior step, until all digits have been considered.

  8. Sort-merge join - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sort-merge_join

    The sort-merge join (also known as merge join) is a join algorithm and is used in the implementation of a relational database management system. The basic problem of a join algorithm is to find, for each distinct value of the join attribute, the set of tuples in each relation which display that value.

  9. R (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_(programming_language)

    R is a programming language for statistical computing and data visualization. It has been adopted in the fields of data mining, bioinformatics and data analysis. [9] The core R language is augmented by a large number of extension packages, containing reusable code, documentation, and sample data. R software is open-source and free software.
