Algorithmic Sock Sorting Theory

Introduction

In a world where socks go missing at an alarming rate, a group of brilliant minds came together to tackle the age-old problem of sock sorting. They asked themselves: "What if we could harness the power of algorithms to sort these pesky socks?"

Problem Statement

Given a pair of socks with unique identifiers, sort them into two piles: one for matching pairs and one for singles.

Approaches

  1. Brute Force Sorting: Iterate through all possible combinations, checking for matches.
  2. Quick Sort Sock Sorting: Divide and conquer, using a divide-and-conquer strategy.
  3. Hungarian Sock Sorting: A variation of Quick Sort, with a dash of Hungarian flair.
