Sorting Algorithms for data
Not what you're looking for?
A sorting algorithm is stable if two data items having the same value are not rearranged with respect to each other at any stage of the algorithm. For instance, in the five-element vector
55 12 33
a stable sorting algorithm guarantees that the final ordering is
12 33 55
classify each of the algorithms as to there stability. 1.Heap 2.Insertion 3.Merge 4.Quicksort 5.Radix 6.Selection

Solution Summary
The expert examines sorting algorithms for data.
Solution Preview
We consider the sequence 2, 1, 2, 3
To identity the first 2 and the second 2, we use 2(1) and 2(2). So the sequence is 2(1), 1, 2(2), 3
Stable sorting algorithms are
2. Insertion sort
The insert sort work flow is as follows.
a. 2(1)
b. 1, 2(1)
c. 1, 2(1), 2(2)
d. 1, 2(1), 2(2)
So it is stable.
3. Merge ...
