**Step One**: Watch [Sorting Algorithms in JavaScript](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRyqlhjXYQI) | |
**Step Two**: Fork this gist. | |
**Step Three**: Respond to this question in your fork: "What are some of the balances and trade offs between different sorting algoritms?" | |
Rule #1, never ever use bubble sort. This sorting algorithm is simply too slow and either Insertion sort or Merge sort is the better option 99.999% of the time. Insertion sort is a reasonably goos sorting algortihm if the data set you are dealing with is already mostly sorted. However, if you are working with a really large data set, merge sort might be the better option. | |
**Step Four**: _Totally Optional_: take a look at some of the other forks and comment if the spirit moves you. |
