S4:E8 - "The Saron Sort"

We're at the end of the season! And to wrap things up, we're breaking down the last two ways to classify sorting algorithms: recursive vs. non-recursive and comparison vs. non-comparison. We bring it all together to talk about what we can do with all these classifications, and, in true basecs podcast fashion, we bring in seemingly unrelated topics like tomatoes! Based on Vaidehi Joshi's blog post, "Sorting Out The Basics Behind Sorting Algorithms".
