Can you name the main data sorting algorithms?

Answer from AI

Main data sorting algorithms that are frequently used and studied:

  • Bubble Sort — a simple but inefficient algorithm that compares neighboring elements and swaps them.
  • Selection Sort — finds the minimum element and places it at the beginning of the array.
  • Insertion Sort — builds a sorted sequence by inserting elements into the correct position.
  • Merge Sort — recursively divides the array into parts, sorts them, and merges.
  • Quick Sort — selects a pivot element, divides the array, and recursively sorts the parts.
  • Heap Sort — builds a heap data structure and extracts elements in order.

In iOS development, built-in Swift methods are often used for sorting, for example:

let array = [5, 3, 8, 1]
let sortedArray = array.sorted() // uses an efficient sorting algorithm

However, understanding the main algorithms is important for optimization and solving non-standard tasks.
