Chapter 6: Sort Algorithms

 

Welcome to Chapter 6! In this chapter, we will be taking an in-depth look at sorting algorithms. Sorting is an essential problem in computer science and plays a vital role in many applications. Without sorting, searching through large amounts of data becomes an arduous and time-consuming task. Imagine trying to find a specific book in a library with no organization. You would have to sift through all the books until you find what you're looking for. However, if the books were sorted, for example, alphabetically, you would be able to find your desired book much more quickly and efficiently. That's the power of sorting!

Throughout this chapter, we will explore a variety of sorting algorithms, starting with the simpler ones and gradually moving towards more complex ones. We'll discuss the concepts behind each algorithm and the advantages and disadvantages of using them, along with their time and space complexity. We'll also provide...
