Learn about Efficient Sorting

This document provides information and resources to help you understand the efficient sorting function implemented in this project.

Sorting Algorithms

Quicksort

Quicksort is an efficient in-place sorting algorithm. It works by selecting a 'pivot' element and partitioning the other elements into two sub-arrays.

Mergesort

Mergesort is a divide and conquer algorithm that divides the input array into two halves, sorts each half, and then merges the sorted halves.

How the Sorting Function Works

The sorting function implemented in this project intelligently selects between quicksort and mergesort based on the characteristics of the input array.

Quick Sort

  • Used for smaller arrays (<= 899 elements).
  • Tail-recursive implementation for optimization.

Merge Sort

  • Used for larger arrays (> 899 elements).
  • Recursively splits and merges the array.
