Shell

The document describes the Shell Sorting algorithm, outlining its steps from initializing the gap size to sorting sub-lists using insertion sort and ultimately printing the sorted list. An example is provided to illustrate the sorting process with a specific list of numbers. Responsibilities for different sections of the document are assigned to group members, and citations for sources are included.

Shell Sorting

Group #4
By Atharva Khare, Jy,
Priyanka Keshavan,

How it Works:
Algorithm
Step 1 − Start.
Step 2 − Initialize the value of gap size,
say h.
Step 3 − Divide the list into smaller
sub-part. Each must have equal
SHELL SORTING intervals to h.
Step 4 − Sort these sub-lists using
insertion sort.
Step 5 – Repeat this step 2 until the list
is sorted.
Step 6 – Print a sorted list.
Step 7 – Stop.
Example [22, 7, 9, 13, 16]

Start with a big gap (let’s Reduce gap to 1


use a gap of 2) ● Compare 9 and 7: Swap
● Compare 22 and 9: them. Compare 7 and
Swap them since 22 is 22: No swap needed.
larger. Compare 7 and Compare 22 and 13:
13: No swap needed. Swap them. Compare 22
Compare 9 and 16: No and 16: Swap them.
swap needed.
The list now looks like: [7, 9,
The list now looks like: [9, 7, 13, 16, 22]
22, 13, 16]
