  2. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a stable sorting algorithm (order of elements with same key is kept) and strives to perform balanced merges (a merge thus merges runs of similar sizes). In order to achieve sorting stability, only consecutive runs are merged. Between two non-consecutive runs, there can be an element with the same key inside the runs.

  3. Bead sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bead_sort

    This is the case when bead sort is implemented without a mechanism to assist in finding empty spaces below the beads, such as in software implementations. Like the Pigeonhole sort, bead sort is unusual in that in worst case it can perform faster than O(n log n), the fastest performance possible for a comparison sort in worst case. This is ...

  4. Sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting

    If different items have different sort key values then this defines a unique order of the items. Workers sorting parcels in a postal facility. A standard order is often called ascending (corresponding to the fact that the standard order of numbers is ascending, i.e. A to Z, 0 to 9), the reverse order descending (Z to A, 9 to 0).

  5. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Merge sort. In computer science, a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order.The most frequently used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order, and either ascending or descending.

  6. First-fit-decreasing bin packing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-fit-decreasing_bin...

    In short: FFD orders the items by descending size, and then calls first-fit bin packing. An equivalent description of the FFD algorithm is as follows. Order the items from largest to smallest. While there are remaining items: Open a new empty bin. For each item from largest to smallest: If it can fit into the current bin, insert it.

  7. Bubble sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_sort

    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 swaps have to be performed during a pass, meaning that the ...

  8. Pigeonhole sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigeonhole_sort

    The difference between pigeonhole sort and counting sort is that in counting sort, the auxiliary array does not contain lists of input elements, only counts: 3: 1; 4: 0; 5: 2; 6: 0; 7: 0; 8: 1; For arrays where N is much larger than n, bucket sort is a generalization that is more efficient in space and time.

  9. Radix sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_sort

    In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm.It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix.For elements with more than one significant digit, this bucketing process is repeated for each digit, while preserving the ordering of the prior step, until all digits have been considered.
