INSERT???..
INSERT INTO…
i just want to ask… which of the following is the most efficient sorting algorithm? bubble sort, selection sort, insertion sort, merge sort or quick sort? i am humbly waiting for ur reply… thanx
Hi Mary,
Quicksort is a great general-purpose sort, and is typically the fastest. There are special cases where other sorts can be better (like merge sort or radix sort), but quicksort is usually the way to go.
which sorting technique are best& worst when array is sorted.
which sorting technique are best &worst when array is in reverse sorted.
Insertion sort works really well when the input is sorted or near sorted [linear time ] while quick sort is worst in such as case performing at O(n^2) …
Anyone more knowledgeable correct me if I’m wrong 
yes ,I agree with Insertion sort!!
I think when movements of the Elements in an Array are expensive or when the comparison of the Keys are
cheap , we can also use Selection Sort "!
I think that Radix Sort should(CAN) be a good choice for Linear Sorting .
pls.correct if I am wrong!

please tell which will be the best sort if number of swappings is the only criteria for its efficiency??
is it insertion sort?
Nice comparison of sorting algorithm en:
which sort use less number of swappings
there is no most efficent . it is changing with your input
Among various these sorting techniques which is best in worst case?
Good work. Keep it up!
u Guys are realy Helpin us in our project
The worst case of heapsort is O(nlgn) and quicksort is O(n^2)…
why heapsort is not used frequently??
