Heapsort

Yin-So Chen
|
The heapsort is a very dependable in-place sorting algorithm, with a rate of growth of O (n log n). Though not quite as fast as quicksort, it has no worst-case scenario. |

Insertion Sort

|
Yin-So Chen
|
Insertion sort can run in O (n) in the best case, however its worst case is O (n2). It can, however, be used to optimize the quicksort, and is therefore worth learning. |

Quicksort
[Added: 9/13/1999]
|
Yin-So Chen
|
The quicksort is the fastest known comparison-based sorting algorithm, with a growth rate of O (n log n) on average. However, in the worst case, this degrades to O (n2), but this can be mostly avoided if implemented carefully. |

Radix Sort

|
Yin-So Chen
|
The radix sort is not as versatile as some others, but it runs in linear - O (n) - time. |

Shell Sort

|
Yin-So Chen
|
Shell sort modifies the insertion sort algorithm and avoids its worst-case behavior. |
