Sorting algorithms in java

If you want to practice data structure and algorithm programs, you can go through 100+ java coding interview questions.

In this post, we will see about Sorting algorithms in java.

A Sorting algorithm is an algorithm which puts collection of elements in specific order.
For example:
You want to sort list of numbers into ascending order or list of names into lexicographical order.

There are lots of questions being asked on sorting algorithms about its implementation, time complexity in data structure and algorithms interviews.It is very essential to understand pros and cons for all sorting algorithm before you go for algorithm interview.

I have covered almost all the sorting algorithm in other posts. This is index posts for all sorting algorithms.

Java Sorting Algorithms

Here is list of Sorting algorithms.

1. Bubble sort
