  2. Insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_sort

    Insertion sort is a simple sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted array (or list) one item at a time by comparisons. It is much less efficient on large lists than more advanced algorithms such as quicksort, heapsort, or merge sort. However, insertion sort provides several advantages:

  3. Online algorithm - Wikipedia

    As an example, consider the sorting algorithms selection sort and insertion sort: selection sort repeatedly selects the minimum element from the unsorted remainder and places it at the front, which requires access to the entire input; it is thus an offline algorithm. On the other hand, insertion sort considers one input element per iteration ...

  4. Shellsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shellsort

    Shellsort, also known as Shell sort or Shell's method, is an in-place comparison sort. It can be seen as either a generalization of sorting by exchange (bubble sort) or sorting by insertion (insertion sort). [3] The method starts by sorting pairs of elements far apart from each other, then progressively reducing the gap between elements to be ...

  5. Timsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort

    Timsort is a hybrid, stable sorting algorithm, derived from merge sort and insertion sort, designed to perform well on many kinds of real-world data. It was implemented by Tim Peters in 2002 for use in the Python programming language. The algorithm finds subsequences of the data that are already ordered (runs) and uses them to sort the ...

    Timsort: adaptative algorithm derived from merge sort and insertion sort. Used in Python 2.3 and up, and Java SE 7. Insertion sorts Insertion sort: determine where the current item belongs in the list of sorted ones, and insert it there; Library sort; Patience sorting; Shell sort: an attempt to improve insertion sort

  7. Merge-insertion sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merge-insertion_sort

    In this sense, it is a hybrid algorithm that combines both merge sort and insertion sort. [9] For small inputs (up to =) its numbers of comparisons equal the lower bound on comparison sorting of ⌈ ⁡! ⌉ ⁡. However, for larger inputs the number of comparisons made by the merge-insertion algorithm is bigger than this lower bound.

  8. Selection sort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_sort

    In computer science, selection sort is an in-place comparison sorting algorithm.It has a O(n 2) time complexity, which makes it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort.

  9. Analysis of algorithms - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_algorithms

    For example, since the run-time of insertion sort grows quadratically as its input size increases, insertion sort can be said to be of order O(n 2). Big O notation is a convenient way to express the worst-case scenario for a given algorithm, although it can also be used to express the average-case — for example, the worst-case scenario for ...
