    Study Notes

    Sorting Algorithms

    • The primary goal of sorting is to arrange elements in a specific order, such as ascending or descending.

    Bubble Sort Algorithm

    • The bubble sort algorithm is described as the simplest sorting algorithm.
    • If E1 is greater than E2 during the bubble sort algorithm, they are swapped.
    • The time complexity of the bubble sort algorithm is O(n^2).
    • The outer loop of the bubble sort algorithm executes n times for an array of length n.

    Selection Sort Algorithm

    • The primary purpose of sorting algorithms, including the selection sort algorithm, is to arrange elements in a specific order.
    • The time complexity of the selection sort algorithm is O(n^2).
    • The inner loop of the selection sort algorithm executes n times on average for an array of length n.
    • The inner loop of the selection sort algorithm finds the smallest element in the unsorted portion of the array.
    • The value of min in the selection sort algorithm after the inner loop completes is the smallest element in the unsorted portion of the array.
    • The expected result of the selection sort algorithm on an array with distinct elements is an array sorted in ascending order.
    • The purpose of the outer loop in the selection sort algorithm is to repeat the process of finding the smallest element until the entire array is sorted.
