1. Sorting algorithm

   In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order. The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending. Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the efficiency of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) that require input data to be in sorted lists. Sorting is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output.

1. sorting algorithm

   A sorting algorithm is a method used in computer science and mathematics that organizes, orders and rearranges a list or sequence of items in a particular or systematic way. The primary purpose of sorting algorithms is to sort a list of elements ranging from numerical order to lexicographical order, and the efficiency of these algorithms is measured by computational complexity such as time and space. Common types of sorting algorithms include quick sort, merge sort, bubble sort, insertion sort, and others.

1. Sorting algorithm

   A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. The most-used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order. Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the use of other algorithms which require input data to be in sorted lists; it is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output. More formally, the output must satisfy two conditions: ⁕The output is in nondecreasing order; ⁕The output is a permutation of the input. Since the dawn of computing, the sorting problem has attracted a great deal of research, perhaps due to the complexity of solving it efficiently despite its simple, familiar statement. For example, bubble sort was analyzed as early as 1956. Although many consider it a solved problem, useful new sorting algorithms are still being invented. Sorting algorithms are prevalent in introductory computer science classes, where the abundance of algorithms for the problem provides a gentle introduction to a variety of core algorithm concepts, such as big O notation, divide and conquer algorithms, data structures, randomized algorithms, best, worst and average case analysis, time-space tradeoffs, and upper and lower bounds.
