  2. Merge sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_sort

    In computer science, Merge Sort (also commonly spelled as mergesort and as merge-sort [2]) is an efficient, general-purpose, and comparison-based sorting algorithm.Most implementations produce a stable sort, which means that the relative order of equal elements is the same in the input and output.

  3. k-way merge algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-way_merge_algorithm

    An example of such is the classic merge that appears frequently in merge sort examples. The classic merge outputs the data item with the lowest key at each step; given some sorted lists, it produces a sorted list containing all the elements in any of the input lists, and it does so in time proportional to the sum of the lengths of the input lists.

  4. Merge algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge_algorithm

    A list containing a single element is, by definition, sorted. Repeatedly merge sublists to create a new sorted sublist until the single list contains all elements. The single list is the sorted list. The merge algorithm is used repeatedly in the merge sort algorithm. An example merge sort is given in the illustration.

  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. Block sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Sort

    Block sort, or block merge sort, is a sorting algorithm combining at least two merge operations with an insertion sort to arrive at O(n log n) (see Big O notation) in-place stable sorting time. It gets its name from the observation that merging two sorted lists, A and B , is equivalent to breaking A into evenly sized blocks , inserting each A ...

    NFL players have sky-high salaries and contracts that would make the average person feel faint. They also get slapped with fines left and right, some frivolous and some substantial.

  9. External sorting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_sorting

    The previous example is a two-pass sort: first sort, then merge. The sort ends with a single k-way merge, rather than a series of two-way merge passes as in a typical in-memory merge sort. This is because each merge pass reads and writes every value from and to disk, so reducing the number of passes more than compensates for the additional cost ...
