gollark: THAT'S IT! I can ship bismuth emojis that way!
gollark: They... OR YOU?!
gollark: #2 is a rather idiomatically written bubblesort.
gollark: Anyway, #1 is quite mysterious. It's evidently written by someone who knows python somewhat, but is deliberately using it apioformically.
gollark: On that note, submission #n is mine, where 0 ≤ n ≤ 20 and n∈ℤ.
