Worst-case space complexity. total, 1 auxiliary. Optimal. No. Bubble sort, sometimes referred to as sinking sort, is a simple sorting algorithm that repeatedly steps through the input list element by element, comparing the current element with the one after it, swapping their values if needed. These passes through the list are repeated until no ...
Main article: Bubble sort. Bubble sort is a simple sorting algorithm. The algorithm starts at the beginning of the data set. It compares the first two elements, and if the first is greater than the second, it swaps them. It continues doing this for each pair of adjacent elements to the end of the data set.
In computer science, an in-place algorithm is an algorithm that operates directly on the input data structure without requiring extra space proportional to the input size. In other words, it modifies the input in place, without creating a separate copy of the data structure. An algorithm which is not in-place is sometimes called not-in-place or ...
Worst-case space complexity. O ( 1 ) {\displaystyle O (1)} Comb sort is a relatively simple sorting algorithm originally designed by Włodzimierz Dobosiewicz and Artur Borowy in 1980, [1] [2] later rediscovered (and given the name "Combsort") by Stephen Lacey and Richard Box in 1991. [3] Comb sort improves on bubble sort in the same way that ...
Shellsort, also known as Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort. It can be seen as either a generalization of sorting by exchange ( bubble sort) or sorting by insertion ( insertion sort ). [3] The method starts by sorting pairs of elements far apart from each other, then progressively reducing the gap between elements to ...
In computer science, bogosort [1] [2] (also known as permutation sort and stupid sort [3]) is a sorting algorithm based on the generate and test paradigm. The function successively generates permutations of its input until it finds one that is sorted. It is not considered useful for sorting, but may be used for educational purposes, to contrast ...
In computer science, partial sorting is a relaxed variant of the sorting problem. Total sorting is the problem of returning a list of items such that its elements all appear in order, while partial sorting is returning a list of the k smallest (or k largest) elements in order. The other elements (above the k smallest ones) may also be sorted ...
Cocktail shaker sort, [1] also known as bidirectional bubble sort, [2] cocktail sort, shaker sort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort ), ripple sort, shuffle sort, [3] or shuttle sort, is an extension of bubble sort. The algorithm extends bubble sort by operating in two directions. While it improves on bubble sort by more ...
