One wonders why classes are still teaching these algorithms. I've had 
colleagues who have written bubble sort into production code, because 
that's the only algorithm they were ever taught (or maybe it was better 
than some even worse ones).

If you do complete this assignment, throw away the code, look up 
QuickSort, implement a reasonable variation of it, and don't look back.
