Sorting Algorithms Explained

Sorting is a fundamental concept in computer science. Here, we explore different sorting techniques and their efficiency.

Bubble Sort

A straightforward approach that repeatedly compares adjacent pairs and swaps them if out of order.

Insertion Sort

Inserts each new element into its correct position, one at a time, making it efficient for small or nearly sorted data.

Selection Sort

Systematically selects the smallest element from the unsorted part and places it in the correct spot.

Merge Sort

A divide-and-conquer strategy: split the list, sort each half, then merge them back in order.

Quick Sort

Uses a pivot to partition the array, placing smaller elements on one side and larger on the other.

Radix Sort

Processes numbers digit by digit, distributing them into buckets to handle large sets efficiently.

Bucket Sort

Groups elements into multiple buckets, sorts each bucket, then merges them for a final sorted list.
