Sorting Algorithms: Identical Elements

A sorting algorithm that works by iterating through the array and placing each element in its correct sorted position compared to the elements before it.

A sorting algorithm where we build a heap data structure (a complete binary tree) and then repeatedly extract the maximum element from the heap, placing it in the correct position in the sorted array.

A sorting algorithm that repeatedly finds the minimum element in the unsorted portion of the array and swaps it with the first element of the unsorted portion.

A sorting algorithm that recursively divides the array into two halves, sorts each half, and then merges the sorted halves back together.

When all elements in an array are identical it means the array is already sorted!

The efficiency of a sorting algorithm in the best-case scenario, when the input array is already sorted or nearly sorted.

The efficiency of an algorithm in the worst-case scenario, when the input array is in the most chaotic or difficult to sort order.

Analyzing the average performance of a sorting algorithm when considering all possible input array permutations.

An efficient sorting algorithm for an already sorted array. One such algorithm is Insertion Sort.

A sorting algorithm that is inefficient in the case of an already sorted list due to unnecessary comparisons.
