How to Do Shell Sort in Python

Introduction Shell Sort is an efficient, in-place, comparison-based sorting algorithm that generalizes insertion sort by allowing the exchange of items that are far apart. It’s named after its inventor, Donald Shell, who introduced it in 1959. Shell sort is...

How To Do Comb Sort in Python

Introduction Comb sort is a relatively simple yet efficient comparison-based sorting algorithm that improves bubble sort by eliminating turtles (small values at the end of the list) early on. It introduces a gap between compared elements, gradually shrinking...

How to Do Pigeonhole Sort in Python

Pigeonhole sort is a simple sorting algorithm that is efficient for sorting lists where the number of elements and the range of possible key values are approximately the same. This algorithm distributes elements into “pigeonholes” based on their key...

How to do Merge Sort in Python

Introduction Merge sort is one of the most efficient and reliable sorting algorithms, known for its divide-and-conquer approach. It is particularly useful for sorting large datasets due to its guaranteed O(n log n) time complexity, making it a popular choice in many...

How to do Insertion Sort in Python

Insertion sort is a simple yet effective algorithm for sorting small datasets. It works similarly to how you might sort playing cards in your hands—picking one card at a time and inserting it into its correct position relative to the other cards. In this blog post, we...
