Abstract

Sorting algorithms are usually judged by their efficiency. In this case, efficiency refers to the algorithmic efficiency as the size of the input grows large and is generally based on the number of elements to sort. In this paper, we have implemented different sorting algorithm on Linux platform. We have also measured running time of sorting algorithms and prepared comparative analysis. For the study purpose we have chosen Insertion, Selection, Merge and Quick Sort for the analysis in term of worst, average, and best case.
