Have you ever thought about how to drink coffee? You're going to say "Sure, fill the cup, brew, drink. Repeat if necessary." But by "drink coffee" we mean all the little decisions you have to make before you can enjoy the black gold. We've decided to break down the process of drinking coffee as transparently as possible with our science cup of computer science and teach you a bit about sorting numbers.

Strictly speaking, there are only two things you need to pay attention to when drinking a cup of coffee: The fill level of the cup and the temperature of the coffee. If the cup is empty, it must be filled. If the coffee is cold, it must be disposed of and replaced with new coffee. And if the cup is full and the coffee is not cold, there is only one thing left to do: drink it. As numbers are usually clearer than words, you will find this mechanism in detail on the cup. Now you just need the right sensors to recreate the structure of the network diagram and build your fully automatic coffee filler. Or you could just use your eyes and your hands. But that would be boring...

Strengthened by the not cold coffee, you can then set about bringing some order to your daily work routine. You can either use the colorful, but unfortunately also inefficient bubble sort, or the at first glance complicated, but efficient quicksort. Or you can simply get started as you see fit ;)
