Sorting Algorithms in C

This presentation discusses sorting algorithms in C, focusing on Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, and Quick Sort, along with their performance characteristics. Bubble Sort and Insertion Sort have O(n^2) average time complexity, while Quick Sort has O(n log n) average time complexity, making it generally more efficient. The choice of sorting algorithm should consider data characteristics to optimize performance.

Bubble Sort
Bubble Sort compares adjacent elements. It swaps
them if they are in the wrong order. The largest
element "bubbles" to the end.

It has O(n^2) time complexity on average. It is simple,


but not efficient for large datasets. It is an in-place
sorting algorithm.
Insertion Sort
Insertion Sort builds a sorted subarray. It inserts each
element into its correct place. It has O(n^2) time
complexity on average.

It is efficient for small or nearly sorted data. It is also an


in-place sorting algorithm.
Quick Sort
Quick Sort uses a divide and conquer approach. It picks
a pivot element and partitions the array. Elements
smaller than the pivot go to the left. Elements larger
than the pivot go to the right.

It has O(n log n) average time complexity. The worst-


case time complexity is O(n^2).

Different sorting algorithms have varying time and space


complexities. Performance depends on data size and pre-sorted
data.
Conclusion
We have covered Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, and Quick Sort. Quick
Sort generally offers the best performance.
