Sorting Techniques

This section explains the theory behind some of the most popular sorting techniques used today. Each subsection highlights a specific sorting technique, telling you about its specific characteristics and giving an example of how you could implement the technique. You can use or modify these examples to suit your needs . At the end of the chapter an overview is given of all sorting techniques discussed so you can quickly see which technique is useful for which situation.

In order to keep the theoretical narrative of this section as close to the point as possible, arrays of integers are used as examples of bases to be sorted. This way, the overhead of other implementation issues is minimized. Throughout the text, references are ...
