How would the native bubblesort function compare to the built-in sort
function of PHP? This - as you will hopefully understand - is not a very
smart question. Bubblesort is an extremely inefficient algorithm, which
should never be user for real sorting. We have only used it here to demonstrate
- the performance different between PHP and C++ if you run <i>exactly the same</i>
+ the performance difference between PHP and C++ if you run <i>exactly the same</i>
algorithm in the two languages.

based on quicksort, one of the best and most famous sorting algorithms there
is. And on top of that: the built-in sort() function is implemented in C!
Thus, when you compare the example C++ bubblesort function with the built-in
- PHP sort() function, you are comparing two native implementations, and of
- course quicksort wins over bubblesort big time!
