    Then we would have a final array of size (1 + ε)n. The algorithm works in log n rounds. In each round we insert as many elements as there are in the final array already, before re-balancing the array. For finding the position of inserting, we apply Binary Search in the final array and then swap the following elements till we hit an empty space.

  3. Multi-key quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-key_quicksort

    algorithm sort(a : array of string, d : integer) is if length(a) ≤ 1 or d ≥ K then return p := pivot(a, d) i, j := partition(a, d, p) (Note a simultaneous assignment of two variables.) sort(a[0:i), d) sort(a[i:j), d + 1) sort(a[j:length(a)), d) Unlike most string sorting algorithms that look at many bytes in a string to decide if a string ...

  4. Fold (higher-order function) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold_(higher-order_function)

    Folds can be regarded as consistently replacing the structural components of a data structure with functions and values. Lists, for example, are built up in many functional languages from two primitives: any list is either an empty list, commonly called nil ([]), or is constructed by prefixing an element in front of another list, creating what is called a cons node ( Cons(X1,Cons(X2,Cons ...

  5. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    The final algorithm takes the six most significant bits of the size of the array, adds one if any of the remaining bits are set, and uses that result as the minrun. This algorithm works for all arrays, including those smaller than 64; for arrays of size 63 or less, this sets minrun equal to the array size and Timsort reduces to an insertion ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    One implementation can be described as arranging the data sequence in a two-dimensional array and then sorting the columns of the array using insertion sort. The worst-case time complexity of Shellsort is an open problem and depends on the gap sequence used, with known complexities ranging from O ( n 2 ) to O ( n 4/3 ) and Θ( n log 2 n ).

  7. Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

    Bubble sort. The list was plotted in a Cartesian coordinate system, with each point (x, y) indicating that the value y is stored at index x. Then the list would be sorted by bubble sort according to every pixel's value. Note that the largest end gets sorted first, with smaller elements taking longer to move to their correct positions.

  8. Merge algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_algorithm

    Conceptually, the merge sort algorithm consists of two steps: Recursively divide the list into sublists of (roughly) equal length, until each sublist contains only one element, or in the case of iterative (bottom up) merge sort, consider a list of n elements as n sub-lists of size 1. A list containing a single element is, by definition, sorted.

  9. Strand sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strand_sort

    Strand Sort Animation. Strand sort is a recursive sorting algorithm that sorts items of a list into increasing order. It has O(n 2) worst-case time complexity, which occurs when the input list is reverse sorted. [1]
