Linear Search

A searching algorithm that sequentially checks each element in a data structure until a match is found or the end of the structure is reached.

Binary Search

A searching algorithm that divides a sorted data structure into two halves and repeatedly narrows down the search range until the desired element is found or the search range is empty.

Bubble Sort

A sorting algorithm that repeatedly swaps adjacent elements if they are in the wrong order, gradually moving larger elements towards the end of the data structure.

Insertion Sort

A sorting algorithm that builds the final sorted data structure one element at a time, inserting each element into its correct position.

Selection Sort

A sorting algorithm that repeatedly selects the smallest element from the unsorted part of the data structure and swaps it with the first unsorted element.

Merge Sort

A sorting algorithm that divides the data structure into smaller parts, recursively sorts them, and then merges the sorted parts to produce the final sorted data structure.

Quick Sort

A sorting algorithm that selects a pivot element, partitions the data structure around the pivot, and recursively sorts the sub-arrays on either side of the pivot.

Heap Sort

A sorting algorithm that builds a binary heap from the data structure and repeatedly extracts the maximum element to produce a sorted data structure.
