  2. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    This is done by merging runs until certain criteria are fulfilled. Timsort has been Python's standard sorting algorithm since version 2.3 (since version 3.11 using the Powersort merge policy [5]), and is used to sort arrays of non-primitive type in Java SE 7, [6] on the Android platform, [7] in GNU Octave, [8] on V8, [9] and Swift. [10]

  3. Cycle sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_sort

    When the array contains only duplicates of a relatively small number of items, a constant-time perfect hash function can greatly speed up finding where to put an item 1, turning the sort from Θ(n 2) time to Θ(n + k) time, where k is the total number of hashes. The array ends up sorted in the order of the hashes, so choosing a hash function ...

  4. 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.

  5. Sorted array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorted_array

    Sorted arrays are the most space-efficient data structure with the best locality of reference for sequentially stored data. [citation needed]Elements within a sorted array are found using a binary search, in O(log n); thus sorted arrays are suited for cases when one needs to be able to look up elements quickly, e.g. as a set or multiset data structure.

  6. Bogosort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogosort

    A sorting algorithm that only works if the list is already in order, otherwise, the conditions of miracle sort are applied. Divine sort A sorting algorithm that takes a list and decides that because there is such a low probability that the list randomly occurred in its current permutation (a probability of 1/n!, where n is the number of ...

  7. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    A bidirectional variant of selection sort (called double selection sort or sometimes cocktail sort due to its similarity to cocktail shaker sort) finds both the minimum and maximum values in the list in every pass. This requires three comparisons per two items (a pair of elements is compared, then the greater is compared to the maximum and the ...

  8. Slowsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slowsort

    Sort the first half, recursively. (1.1) Sort the second half, recursively. (1.2) Find the maximum of the whole array by comparing the results of 1.1 and 1.2, and place it at the end of the list. (1.3) Sort the entire list (except for the maximum now at the end), recursively. (2)

  9. Counting sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counting_sort

    Here input is the input array to be sorted, key returns the numeric key of each item in the input array, count is an auxiliary array used first to store the numbers of items with each key, and then (after the second loop) to store the positions where items with each key should be placed, k is the maximum value of the non-negative key values and ...
