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.

A sort algorithm that finds the smallest element of the array and interchanges it with the element in the first position of the array. Then it finds the second smallest element from the remaining elements in the array and places it in the second position of the array and so on
Write a program that reads the numbers and sorts them by using the Counting Sort algorithm and finally search a number from that array using Linear Search Algorithm. Input: 3 6 5 4 789 Search Item: 7 Output: Sorted Array: 3 4 5 6 789 Search item 7 is found.
Write a modified version of the selection sort algorithm that selects the largest element each time and moves it to the end of the array, rather than selecting the smallest element and moving it to the beginning. Will this algorithm be faster than the standard selection sort? What will its complexity class (big-Oh) be?
