Sorting Algorithms: More Than Just Bubble Sort

If you still use Bubble Sort, we need to talk… 😅

Sorting is one of the most fundamental operations in CS. Yet, many people stick to slow algorithms like Bubble Sort when there are better choices!

📌 Key sorting algorithms and when to use them:

✅ QuickSort – Fast on average (O(n log n)), great for general sorting

✅ MergeSort – Stable and works well with linked lists

✅ HeapSort – Useful when sorting large datasets in place

✅ Counting/Radix Sort – If elements have a small range, these can be faster than O(n log n)!

Choosing the right sorting algorithm depends on the constraints, not just speed. Sometimes stability or memory usage matters more.

What’s your go-to sorting algorithm, and why? Have you ever used a non-standard sorting technique?
