What is sorting Algorithms?
Sorting means set out or arranging a set of data in some order. There are unlike or different methods that are used to sort the data in arise or ascending or descending or go down order. Few of them are listed and talk about or discussed in detail below.

1. Bubble sort
2. Selection sort
3. Insertion sort
4. Heap sort
5. Merge sort
6. Quick sort
1.1 Bubble Sort
Bubble sort is a simple sorting task or algorithm. The task or algorithm gets its name from the way smaller part or elements “bubble” to the top of the list. Because it only uses balancing or comparisons to work or operate on elements, it is a balancing or comparison sort.
1.2 Selection sort
Selection sort is a sorting task or algorithm, particular or specifically an in-place balancing or comparison sort.
1.3 Insertion sort
Insertion sort is a simple sorting task or algorithm, a balancing or comparison sort in which the sorted array (or list) is built one entry at a time. It is much less logical on large lists than more up to date algorithms or task such as quick sort, heap sort, or merge sort. However, insertion sort give several advantages:
1. Simple implementation or execution
2. Efficient or adequate for (quite) small data sets
3. Adaptive or flexible, i.e. efficient for data or record sets that are already substantially or greatly sorted: the time difficulty or complexity is O(n +d), where d is the number of inversions or reversal.
4. More logical or efficient in practice than most other simple foursquare or quadratic (i.e. O(n square)) algorithms or task such as selection sort or bubble sort: the average running time is n square/4, and the management or running time is linear in the best case
5. Stable, i.e. does not change the respective or relative order of part or elements with equal keys
6. In-place, i.e. only requires a continuous or constant amount O(1) of additional memory space
7. Online, i.e. can sort a list as it collect or receives it.
1.4 Heap sort
The heap sort works as its name submit or suggests. It begins by place or building a heap out of the data set, and then take out or removing the largest item and set or placing it at the end of the sorted array. After removing the largest item, it rebuild or reconstructs the heap, removes the largest last or remaining item, and places it in the next open place or position from the end of the sorted array. This is frequent or repeated until there are no items left in the heap and the sorted array is full. Elementary or easy implementations require two arrays – one to hold the mass or heap and the other to hold the sorted part or elements.
1.5 Merge sort
Merge sort is an O(n log n) balancing or comparison-based sorting task or algorithm. In most implementations or execution it is stable, meaning that it protect or preserves the input order of equal part or elements in the sorted output. It is an example of the divide and conquer algorithmic or task paradigm. It was create or invented by john von Neumann in 1945.
1.6 Quick sort
The quick sort algorithm was grow or developed by C. A. R. Hoare while in the Soviet Union, as a stay with or visiting student at Moscow State University. At that time, Hoare worked in a project a tool or machine translation for the National Physical Laboratory.
