parallel sorting is O(log n). Swaps for "in-place" algorithms. Memory usage (and use of other computer resources). In particular, some sorting algorithms...

series of swaps. The average running time is O(n2) but tends towards O(n) if the list is initially almost sorted. Dick Grune described the sorting method...

value at the end, swap them. If there are three or more elements in the list, then: Stooge sort the initial 2/3 of the list Stooge sort the final 2/3 of...

Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array (or list) one item at a time by comparisons. It is much less efficient...

Block sort, or block merge sort, is a sorting algorithm combining at least two merge operations with an insertion sort to arrive at O(n log n) (see Big...

occurs if the list as given is already sorted; in this case the expected number of comparisons is n − 1, and no swaps at all are carried out. For any collection...

repeatedly swaps the root of the heap (the greatest element remaining in the heap) with its last element, which is then declared to be part of the sorted suffix...

For this reason, radix sort has also been called bucket sort and digital sort. Radix sort can be applied to data that can be sorted lexicographically, be...

In computer science, a topological sort or topological ordering of a directed graph is a linear ordering of its vertices such that for every directed edge...

Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort. It can be understood as either a generalization of sorting by exchange (bubble sort) or sorting...

Introsort or introspective sort is a hybrid sorting algorithm that provides both fast average performance and (asymptotically) optimal worst-case performance...

Cycle sort is an in-place, unstable sorting algorithm, a comparison sort that is theoretically optimal in terms of the total number of writes to the original...

aggregated data types. Comparison sorts use swaps to change the positions of data. In many programming languages the swap function is built-in. In C++ overloads...

weakness of insertion sort is that it may require a high number of swap operations and be costly if memory write is expensive. Library sort may improve that...
