Computer science students are generally introduced to algorithms through sorting algorithms, as they provide a foundational understanding of algorithmic behavior and efficiency.
Timsort with its time complexity of O(nlogn) in the worst case and O(n) in the best case, has become the default sorting algorithm for Python, Java, and other programming languages.
It aims to find the longest subsequence present in both input sequences, where a subsequence is a sequence that appears in the same relative order but not necessarily consecutively.
