  2. 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 .

  3. Selection algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selection_algorithm

    As a baseline algorithm, selection of the th smallest value in a collection of values can be performed by the following two steps: . Sort the collection; If the output of the sorting algorithm is an array, retrieve its th element; otherwise, scan the sorted sequence to find the th element.

  4. Sorting algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorting_algorithm

    Selection sort is an in-place comparison sort. It has O(n 2) complexity, making it inefficient on large lists, and generally performs worse than the similar insertion sort. Selection sort is noted for its simplicity and also has performance advantages over more complicated algorithms in certain situations.

  5. In-place algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-place_algorithm

    As another example, many sorting algorithms rearrange arrays into sorted order in-place, including: bubble sort, comb sort, selection sort, insertion sort, heapsort, and Shell sort. These algorithms require only a few pointers, so their space complexity is O(log n). [1] Quicksort operates in-place on the data to be sorted.

  6. Quickselect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quickselect

    In computer science, quickselect is a selection algorithm to find the kth smallest element in an unordered list, also known as the kth order statistic.Like the related quicksort sorting algorithm, it was developed by Tony Hoare, and thus is also known as Hoare's selection algorithm. [1]

  7. Online algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_algorithm

    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 ...

  8. Heapsort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heapsort

    In computer science, heapsort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm which can be thought of as "an implementation of selection sort using the right data structure." [3] Like selection sort, heapsort divides its input into a sorted and an unsorted region, and it iteratively shrinks the unsorted region by extracting the largest element from it and inserting it into the sorted region.

  9. Quicksort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicksort

    A selection algorithm chooses the k th smallest of a list of numbers; this is an easier problem in general than sorting. One simple but effective selection algorithm works nearly in the same manner as quicksort, and is accordingly known as quickselect. The difference is that instead of making recursive calls on both sublists, it only makes a ...
