most common algorithms and design patterns ...

I took the time to search around for such a thing as a survey or list
of the most common algorithms and design patterns ever used, yet the
closest I could get to the answer to my question were CS curricula
~
Do you know from where could I get such a survey?

Thank you

Yeah! I think like you. Each hit on a DB produces a search and if the
column is indexed, some sorting underlying the search. Also I think
the most used pattern is the MVC Imean even our brains run it
constantly :-)

Well yes, I was amazed that was all you could find at the wiki
alrithms page (External links) as external references references were
CS curricula

~
Yes, I do. Well actually I am a Physicist/Mathematician, but I have
my love/hate relationship with coding. I like it but at some point I
stopped finding it enticing. Maybe it is because I am an old/bored/
less impressionable man ;-)

Yeah! Sort is what we do when we breathe ;-) but also as part of that
imaginary survey I fancy about and I hope I will find with your help,
are the computational costs (and physical taxing) of the algorithms.
Even though sorting is everywhere, searching and encrypting are more
intensive
