Odd-even sort is a relatively simple sorting algorithm. It is a comparison sort based on bubble sort with which it shares many characteristics. It functions by comparing all (odd, even)-indexed pairs of adjacent elements in the list and, if a pair is in the wrong order (the first is larger than the second) the elements are switched. The next step repeats this for (even, odd)-indexed pairs (of adjacent elements). Then it alternates between (odd, even) and (even, odd) steps until the list is sorted. It can be thought of as using parallel processors, each using bubblesort but starting at different points in the list (all odd indices for the first step). This sorting algorithm is only marginally more difficult than bubble sort to implement.…

Cocktail sortalso known as bidirectional bubble sort, cocktail shaker sort, shakersort (which can also refer to a variant of selection sort), ripple sortshuffle sort, shuttle sort or happy hour sort, is a variation of bubblesort that is both a stable sorting algorithm and a comparison sort. Thealgorithm differs from bubble sort in that it sorts in both directionson each pass through the list. This sorting algorithm is only marginallymore difficult to implement than bubble sort, and solves the problemwith so-called turtles in bubble sort. …

Each bucket is then sorted individuallyeither using a different sorting algorithm, or by recursively applyingthe bucket sorting algorithm. It is a distribution sort, and is a cousinof radix sort in the most to least significant digit flavour. Bucketsort is a generalization of pigeonhole sort. Since bucket sort is not acomparison sort, the ¿(n log n) lower bound is inapplicable. Thecomputational complexity estimates involve the number of buckets. Bucketsort works as follows: Set up an array of initially empty 'buckets.'Scatter: Go over the original array, putting each object in its bucket.Sort each non-empty bucket. Gather: Visit the buckets in order and putall elements back into the original array.…

Although somewhat slower in practice on most machines than agood implementation of quicksort, it has the advantage of a worst-case¿(n log n) runtime. Heapsort is an in-place algorithm, but is not astable sort.…

It works by repeatedly stepping through thelist to be sorted, comparing each pair of adjacent items and swappingthem if they are in the wrong order. The pass through the list isrepeated until no swaps are needed, which indicates that the list issorted. The algorithm gets its name from the way smaller elements'bubble' to the top of the list. Because it only uses comparisons tooperate on elements, it is a comparison sort.…

The only requirement is that the operator obeytwo of the properties of a total order: if a ¿ b and b ¿ c then a ¿ c(transitivity), for all a and b, either a ¿ b or b ¿ a (totalness ortrichotomy). It is possible that both a ¿ b and b ¿ a; in this caseeither may come first in the sorted list. In a stable sort, the inputorder determines the sorted order in this case. A metaphor for thinkingabout comparison sorts is that you have a set of unlabelled weights anda balance scale. The goal is to line up the weights in order by theirweight without any information except that obtained by placing twoweights on the scale and seeing which one is heavier (or if they weighthe same).…

It is much less efficient onlarge lists than more advanced algorithms such as quicksort, heapsortor merge sort. However, insertion sort provides several advantages:simple implementation, efficient for (quite) small data sets, adaptivei.e. efficient for data sets that are already substantially sorted: thetime complexity is O(n + d), where d is the number of inversions, moreefficient in practice than most other simple quadratic (i.e. O(n2))algorithms such as selection sort or bubble sort: the average runningtime is n2/4[citation needed], and the running time is linear in thebest case, stable, i.e. does not change the relative order of elementswith equal keys, in-place, i.e. only requires a constant amount O(1) ofadditional memory space, online, i.e. can sort a list as it receives it.Most humans when sorting-ordering a deck of cards, for example-use amethod that is similar to insertion sort.…

In most implementationsit is stable, meaning that it preserves the input order of equalelements in the sorted output. It is an example of the divide andconquer algorithmic paradigm. It was invented by John von Neumann in1945.…
