The sorting is a type of
Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.
Explanation of Solution
Sorting:
When contents of the array being arranged in the particular order is called as sorting. The order of arranging the contents can be ascending or descending order.
Types of sorting:
- Bubble sort
- Selection sort
- Insertion sort
- Merge sort
- Quick sort
- Shell sort
- Heap sort
These sort have the possibility of sorting the array in both ascending and descending order.
Ascending order:
When the elements present in the array are sorted from the lowest to highest is called as ascending order.
Example:
Consider the elements of array that are present in the ascending order below:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10… 20
Descending order:
When the elements present in the array are sorted from the highest to lowest is called as descending order.
Example:
Consider the elements of array that are present in the descending order below:
55, 45, 40, 35, 30 … 10
Explanation for incorrect options:
Search Algorithm:
The “searching” algorithm the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array.
Hence, the option “A” is wrong.
Ordering Algorithm:
The term “ordering algorithm” is not an valid algorithm.
Hence, the option “C” is wrong.
Selection Algorithm:
The term “selection algorithm” finds the kth smallest number in a list or array.
Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

- ____ is a type of sorting algorithm that sorts an array by “floating” elements that are larger to the right, and elements that are “smaller” to the left (for ascending order) on each round of the sort.arrow_forwardIf a is an array with n number of values the total number of index will be also n-1 Select one: O True O Falsearrow_forwardTRUE OR FALSE You should not pass a one-dimensional array to a function. Passing an array by reference is more efficient than passing it by value. The quick sort algorithm provides a quick and easy way to sort the items stored in an array, as long as the number of items is relatively small—for example, fewer than 50. The variables in an array may be stored in non-consecutive memory locations in the computer’s internal memory. It takes longer for the computer to access the information stored in a disk file, than in an array in memory.arrow_forward
- Number Analysis Program (FYI: Pseudocode not any specific programming language.) Write a pseudocode algorithm that asks the user to enter a series of 20 numbers. The program should store the numbers in an array and then display the following data: The lowest number in the array The highest number in the array The total of the numbers in the array The average of the numbers in the arrayarrow_forwardARRAY RANDOMIZER Create a program that shuffels all the elements present in an array. To shuffle an array, you need to do at least 500 random swaps of any elements in the array given below.
