 Bead sort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bead sort is a natural sorting algorithm, developed by Joshua J. Arulanandham, Cristian S. Calude and Michael J. Dinneen in 2002, and published in The Bulletin of the European Association for Theoretical Computer Science.
The bead sort operation can be compared to the manner in which beads slide on parallel poles, such as on an abacus.
The mechanism underlying bead sort is similar to that behind counting sort; the number of beads on each pole corresponds to the number of elements with value equal or less than the index of that pole.
