Sorting Basics
Sorting is the process of arranging data in a specific order (ascending or descending). Basic sorting algorithms are easy to understand but are generally less efficient for large datasets.
1. Bubble Sort
Repeatedly swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order.
- Time Complexity: $O(n^2)$
2. Selection Sort
Repeatedly finds the minimum element and moves it to the beginning.
- Time Complexity: $O(n^2)$
3. Insertion Sort
Builds the sorted array one item at a time, similar to sorting a deck of cards.
- Time Complexity: $O(n^2)$
