History and Development

The evolution of sorting algorithms is a fascinating journey through the history of computer science, reflecting the continuous quest for efficiency and speed in data processing. In the early days, simple algorithms like Bubble Sort, conceived in the late 1950s, and Selection Sort provided foundational methods for ordering data, albeit with limited efficiency. As computational demands grew, these O(n²)…
