Stooge sort
Ok kiddo, let me tell you about something called "stooge sort". Imagine you have a bunch of toys that you want to arrange in a specific order from the smallest to the largest. Stooge sort is a way of doing this, but instead of doing it all at once, it's like you're breaking it up into smaller steps.
First, you pick two of the toys and compare their sizes. If one is larger than the other, you switch their places. Then you look at the next two toys and do the same thing. You keep doing this until you've gone all the way through your toys.
But here's the tricky part: after you've done this once, you're not finished yet. You have to go back and do it again, but this time you can only look at a specific part of the toys. Let's say you have 10 toys. The first time you looked at all 10 toys, but the second time you can only look at the first 7, because you already know the last 3 are in the right place. And then you do it all again with the first 5, and keep going until all the toys are sorted.
So, stooge sort is like going through your toys over and over again, but each time you only look at a smaller and smaller part of them until they're finally in the right order. It can take a while to do, but it's one way of sorting things.
