Sorting
What is the main advantage of bubble sort despite being known as slow?
It is a good algorithm for sorting large datasets
Why is ordering data important?
To facilitate searching and retrieval
What is the purpose of bubble sort being conceptually the simplest of the sorting algorithms?
To make it easier to understand
Which algorithm is characterized by comparing two players at a time to determine their order?
Bubble sort
In which sort algorithm can you no longer compare only players standing next to each other?
Selection Sort
What action is taken in the Insertion Sort algorithm if the first element is greater than stored TEMP?
The TEMP should be swapped with the first element
What makes Selection Sort less efficient as the data size increases?
It works by repeatedly selecting the minimum element from the unsorted part of the array and placing it at the beginning
What is the main characteristic of Insertion Sort?
Taking an element from the unsorted part of the array and inserting it into its correct position in the sorted part of the array
What is the purpose of the Bubble Sort algorithm?
To position the highest individual at the far right of the line upon the conclusion of the initial pass
