C++ "sort"

You have little time for first year assignments yet you have enough time to troll someone looking to a community they're part of for help or advice?

It'd be different if this was his first thread. But he's an established member of this community and you're going out of your way to be an incredible dick. There's nothing worse than an officious douche being mean for the sake of being mean. I'll take 1000 people looking to learn over a bag of stinky dicks like you.

Done some measurements about the performance of various implementations of QuickSort and MergeSort.
This one is about the time it takes to sort a randomly-generated (and, therefore, randomly shuffled) array of certain size:

This one is about the time it takes to sort an array of certain sortedness, all of the arrays being of the same size:

Man, you're a data beast!

Sorting algorithms are really important tools for learning computer science concepts, but unfortunately you won't be implementing them in the practical world aside from in very specialized instances.

Luckily, the knowledge you've gained and your dedication to a thorough understanding of these concepts is going to make you a great hire when you enter the job market.

Thank you for being encouraging. But, before entering the job market, I should probably finish the university. It's going relatively well for me, but not exceedingly well. I've right now failed a digital electronics test (though there will be another time for it in a few weeks, and almost certainly a few more this year) and I will, in all likelihood, fail the mathematics test that will be this Friday.
Furthermore, in order for an employer to value my text, it needs to be published in a peer-reviewed journal. My professor told me, when I showed him the newest version of my text, that Osječki Matematički List usually doesn't accept texts that are over 12 pages long. He told me it's a relatively good material to re-edit into three articles.
Of course, he had some objections to my text. The biggest objection he had was that I implemented QuickSort in a different way than he showed us on the lectures. I was using a helper-array instead of the hard-to-understand partial sorting, and professor thinks it makes my program around 3 times slower. He also objected that I was often using terms from linguistics to describe the programming language I designed, instead of using the words and phrases typical of computer science. Some of those words and phrases typical of computer science, I actually have never heard of them. For instance, the professor tells me the correct term for "grammatical illusion" is "semantic analysis".

See, I went to the trouble for this guy to block out some time in my office just to run his code and determine where any issue might lie. Under covid restrictions, this is not easy. 

And he shat on me.

I am disinclined to make any further effort.
