Python Programming: Lesson 49 - Sortable Objects
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!!!
In the previous lesson ( • Python Programming: Lesson 48 - Bubble Sort ), we gained exposure to a new algorithm called bubble sort. This is a relatively inefficient but easy-to-understand approach to sorting the elements in a list of SORTABLE elements. In this video, we spend some time reviewing bubble sort, but we do it in the context of generally sortable objects (instances of the Person class) rather than with ints or floats. In the next video, we will study insertion sort and selection sort from an object-oriented perspective.
Recall that we can use the _lt_ magic method to define what it means for one instance of a class to be less than another instance of a class. This is essentially when we attempt to sort a collection of elements that belong to a particular class. Try using bubble sort to sort a collection of Person objects, or Car objects, or Hamburger objects. How do you define __lt__? How do you code bubble sort?
