Question

In algorithms, you are given an array that contains 100,000 pixel color values. Each of these values is an integer in the range in
sorting algorithms can you use to perform this task?

a.Bubble sort
b. Counting sort
c. Quick sort
d. Merge sort​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is necessary condition for counting sort?

Counting sort only works when the range of potential items in the input is known ahead of time. Space cost. If the range of potential values is big, then counting sort requires a lot of space (perhaps more than O ( n ) O(n) O(n)).

Answer 2

b.Counting sort would be the most efficient sorting algorithm for this task

• As it is specifically designed for sorting a small range of integers and is particularly good at handling large data sets.
• Counting sort works by counting the number of occurrences of each value in the input array, and then using that information to place each element in its correct position in the sorted array. This is a linear time algorithm, so it will be fast even with a large number of elements such as 100,000.
• A,B,C and D are other sorting algorithms, but they may not be as efficient as counting when it comes to large data sets with a small range of integers.
