Performance Analysis of Sorting Algorithms in Context of Complexity
Abstract: Data structure is a systematic way to organize, manage and store data in a computer's memory so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently. Sorting is a fundamental operation in data structures that deals with arranging the elements of a list or array in a specific order. This order can be numerical, alphabetical, or any user-defined order. In computer science, sorting is not just about arranging numbers, it is about organizing data so that it can be used efficiently. In C programming, sorting algorithms are commonly applied to arrays using loops, functions, pointers, and sometimes recursion. Time complexity describes how the running time of an algorithm increases as the input size increases. Space complexity describes how much additional memory an algorithm needs while sorting. Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, and Quick Sort can generally be implemented in-place. The aim of this paper is to analyse a role of different sorting algorithms in context of time and space complexity.
Keywords: Time and Space Complexity: Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, Insertion Sort, Quick Sort, Merge Sort and Heap Sort
