Sort Algorithms

This category contains explanation for various sorting algorithms in computer science.

A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that sorts or rearranges the given array or list in a specific order. This can be lexicographical order in case of strings and characters, and numerical order for numbers and it can be either in ascending or descending order.

There are mainly two categories of sorting algorithms: 1. Comparison based 2. Non-Comparison based. Comparison based sorting algorithms like bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort etc. rely on comparison operation for sorting elements. Non-comparison based algorithms like counting sort, sorts based on key-values and radix sort, bucket sort, sort based on bits.
