  2. 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.

  3. Multi-key quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-key_quicksort

    Multi-key quicksort, also known as three-way radix quicksort, [1] is an algorithm for sorting strings.This hybrid of quicksort and radix sort was originally suggested by P. Shackleton, as reported in one of C.A.R. Hoare's seminal papers on quicksort; [2]: 14 its modern incarnation was developed by Jon Bentley and Robert Sedgewick in the mid-1990s. [3]

    And although asymptotically it is the same as radix sort, with time complexity of O(wn) (w – word length and n – number of strings to be sorted), but due to better memory distribution it tends to be twice as fast on big data sets of strings. It has been billed as the "fastest known algorithm to sort large sets of strings". [2]

  5. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    While the LSD radix sort requires the use of a stable sort, the MSD radix sort algorithm does not (unless stable sorting is desired). In-place MSD radix sort is not stable. It is common for the counting sort algorithm to be used internally by the radix sort. A hybrid sorting approach, such as using insertion sort for small bins, improves ...

  6. Radix tree - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radix_tree

    Radix trees also share the disadvantages of tries, however: as they can only be applied to strings of elements or elements with an efficiently reversible mapping to strings, they lack the full generality of balanced search trees, which apply to any data type with a total ordering. A reversible mapping to strings can be used to produce the ...

  7. Quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort

    This algorithm is a combination of radix sort and quicksort. Pick an element from the array (the pivot) and consider the first character (key) of the string (multikey). Partition the remaining elements into three sets: those whose corresponding character is less than, equal to, and greater than the pivot's character.

  8. Integer sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_sorting

    In computer science, integer sorting is the algorithmic problem of sorting a collection of data values by integer keys. Algorithms designed for integer sorting may also often be applied to sorting problems in which the keys are floating point numbers, rational numbers, or text strings. [1]

  9. Talk:Radix sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Radix_sort

    Radix sort does not compare whole integers, but only one digit at a time. So radix sort is O(n log(k)) bit compares, and Mergesort does O(n log(n)) integer compares, which is O(n log(n) k) bit compares. The only way radix sort is worse (asymptotically) is if you are on hardware which can perform comparison of arbitrary-length integers at the ...
