Sorting and Searching Algorithms
In this chapter, we will look at the algorithms that are used for sorting and searching. This is an important class of algorithms that can be used on their own or can become the foundation for more complex algorithms. These include Natural Language Processing (NLP) and pattern-extracting algorithms. This chapter starts by presenting different types of sorting algorithms. It compares the performance of various approaches to designing a sorting algorithm. Then, some searching algorithms are presented in detail. Finally, a practical example of the sorting and searching algorithms presented in this chapter is studied.
By the end of this chapter, we should be able to understand the various algorithms that are used ...
