Sorting is one of the oldest computing problems and is still very important in the age of big data. Various algorithms and implementation techniques have been proposed. In this study, we focus on comparison based, internal sorting algorithms. We created 12 data types of various sizes for experiments and tested extensively various implementations in a single setting. Using some effective techniq...

Sorting is a commonly used operation in computer science. In addition to its main job of arranging lists or arrays in sequence, sorting is often also required to facilitate some other operation such as searching, merging and normalization or used as an intermediate operation in other operations. A sorting algorithm consists of comparison, swap, and assignment operations[1-3]. There are several ...

In many real applications, sorting plays an important role as it makes easy to handle the data by arranging it in ascending or descending order, according to requirements. Bubble sort is most common sorting algorithm, but not efficient for many applications. There are number of other sorting algorithms and still, research is going for new sorting algorithms to improve the complexities of existi...

Sorting is considered as a fundamental operation in computer science as it is used as an intermediate step in many operations. Sorting refers to the operation of arranging data in some given order such as increasing or decreasing, with numerical data, or alphabetically, with character data. An algorithm is any well-defined procedure or set of instructions, that takes some input in the form of s...
