C Algorithms – Comb Sort

Comb sort is a simple sorting algorithm which improves on bubble sort. The main idea for this type of algorithm is to eliminate the small values near the end of the list, as these slow down the sorting process. How it works: In comb sort, the main usage is of gaps. For example, in bubble sort the gap between two elements was 1 whilst here the gap starts out as a large value and shrinks until it reaches the value 1, when it practically becomes bubble sort. The shrink factor determines how much the gap is lessened. The value is…

C Algorithms – Radix Sort

Radix sort is a sorting algorithm that sorts the data, integers for example, by splitting the numbers into individual digits and comparing the individual digits sharing the same significant position. Also, a positional notation is required, because instead of integers there could be strings of characters or floating point numbers. The radix sort can be classified into 2 types: LSD (least significant digit) or MSD (most significant digit). The LSD sorting type begins from the least significant digit to the most significant digit and the MSD works the other way around. Note: having the number 150, the number 0 is…

C Algorithms – Insertion Sort

Insertion sort is a simple comparison sorting algorithm, that considers at a step k, the elements of the array A[0,k-1] are already sorted out, and the element on the k position will be inserted that way that after the insertion, the elements A[0,k] are sorted out. Inserting the k element in the A[0,k-1] sequence requires a few steps: the element must be retained in a temporal variable; moving all the elements from the A[0,k-1] array that are greater than A[k] with a position to the right (this presumes a run from right to left of the array); placing the A[k]…
