Sorting
Merge Sort
• Merge Sort is a Divide and Conquer algorithm. It divides the
input array into two halves, calls itself for the two halves, and then merges the two sorted halves. • The merge() function is used for merging two halves. The merge(arr, l, m, r) is a key process that assumes that arr[l..m] and arr[m+1..r] are sorted and merges the two sorted sub- arrays into one. • array is recursively divided in two halves till the size becomes 1. Once the size becomes 1, the merge processes come into action and start merging arrays back till the complete array is merged. Bubble sort
• Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking
sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the list, compares adjacent elements and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. • The pass through the list is repeated until the list is sorted. The algorithm, which is a comparison sort, is named for the way smaller or larger elements "bubble" to the top of the list. • Worst and Average Case Time Complexity: O(n*n). Worst case occurs when array is reverse sorted. Best Case Time Complexity: O(n). Best case occurs when array is already sorted. Summary
