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.
Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array.
A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list into an order. Most frequently we’re required to sort data structures such as arrays, linked lists etc having numerical values. There’re various algorithms to sort a container or a data structure. In this post, we’ll discuss most popular or commonly used algorithms.
