Sort algorithms.

Sorting algorithms arrange elements in a list into a specific order. The required sort order may be ascending descending, alphabetic or custom defined.

Sorting algorithms list:

Bubble Sort
Insertion Sort
Merge Sort
Selection Sort
Counting Sort
Exponential Sort
Radix Sort
Bucket Sort
Heap Sort
Shell Sort
Topological sort
Quick Sort

Time Complexity of sort Algorithms

Following table shows time complexity metrics for an String with n characters:

Operation Best case Worst case Average case
Bubble Sort O(n) O(n^2) O(n^2)
Insertion Sort O(n) O(n^2) O(n^2)
Merge Sort O(n log n) O(n log n) O(n log n)
Selection Sort O(n^2) O(n^2) O(n^2)
Counting Sort O(n+k) O(n+k) O(n+k)
Exponential Sort O(n) O(log n) O(log n)>
Radix Sort O(nk) O(nk) O(nk)
Bucket Sort O(n+k) O(n+k) O(n^2)
Heap Sort O(n log n) O(n log n) O(n log n)
Shell Sort O(n log n) O(n log n) O(n^2)
Topological sort O(V+E) O(V + E) O(V + E)
Quick Sort O(n log n) O(n log n) O(n^2)

Note:
n: Number of elements in the dataset.
V: Number of vertices in the graph.
E: Number of edges in the graph.
