While algorithms are generally written in a natural language or plain english language, pseudocode is written in a format that is similar to the structure of a highlevel programming language. Some sorting algorithms can rearrange the input array, others need to. Program on the other hand allows us to write a code in a particular programming language. Sorting is a process through which the data is arranged in ascending or descending order. Pseudocode is a textbased detail algorithmic design tool.
We have discussed so far about insertion sort merge sort heap sort we now take a look at quicksort that on an average runs 23 faster that merge sort or heap sort. This algorithm is not suitable for large data sets as its average and worst case complexity are of. The algorithm terminates when the list is of size 1 actually, zero, but well. This module focuses on design and analysis of various sorting algorithms using paradigms such as incremental design and divide and conquer. Sorting algorithms princeton university computer science.
