Description
Sort algorithms have many trade-offs, in-fact even the sorted output sequences might differ.
Part 1: Your tasks for this assignment are the following:
- Identify at least five (5) algorithm differences that might be considered when choosing a sort algorithm.
- Offer examples of related sorts with the discussion of each difference considered.
Part 2: Rationalize:
You have formed a hypothesis that Big O analysis is not appropriate for comparing different sort algorithms, but rather for comparing the performance of a given sort algorithm as the number of sort keys change. (Hint: consider locality differences among sorts).
Week 3 Deliverables:
- 5 fully documented differences among sorting algorithms.
- Support the differences with Sort algorithms that exemplify the related characteristics.
- Generate a summary of Sort differences.
- Include the Big O critique.

Introduction
Sorting technique/algorithm is an algorithm that is used to arrange items in a list in a
certain order. There are many different sorting techniques/algorithms and in this article, I will be
looking at some of the different major sorting algorithms and the key differences between these
sorting algorithms. Some of the sorting algorithms that I will be looking at include the following:
Bubble sort, Insertion sort, Heap sort, Tree sort, Selection sort, Shell sort and Quick sort.
Bubble Sort
This is a sorting technique that uses comparison as a means of sorting elements.
Usually, in this algorithm, the elements that are next to each other are compared to check if they
are in order and if they are not in order, the item i...
