Sorting Algorithms

Sorting algorithms are essential for organizing data efficiently. Here are three popular sorting algorithms:

Merge Sort

Merge Sort is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that divides the input array into two halves, calls itself for the two halves, and then merges the two sorted halves.

• More about Merge Sort

Quick Sort

Quick Sort is another divide-and-conquer algorithm that works by selecting a 'pivot' element from the array and partitioning the other elements into two sub-arrays, according to whether they are less than or greater than the pivot.

Heap Sort

Heap Sort is a comparison-based sorting technique based on a Binary Heap data structure. It is similar to selection sort where we first find the maximum element and place the maximum element at the end. We repeat the same process for the remaining elements.

Search Algorithms

Search algorithms are used to find a particular element in a data structure. Here are two common search algorithms:

Binary Search

Binary Search is a search algorithm that divides the sorted array or list in half with each iteration until the target value is found or the size of the interval becomes zero.

Depth-First Search (DFS)

Depth-First Search (DFS) is an algorithm for traversing or searching tree or graph data structures. It starts at the root and explores as far as possible along each branch before backtracking.

• More about DFS

Graph Algorithms

Graph algorithms are used to analyze and process graph data structures. Here are three popular graph algorithms:

Dijkstra's Algorithm

Dijkstra's Algorithm is a graph search algorithm that solves the single-source shortest path problem for a graph with non-negative edge weights.

• More about Dijkstra's Algorithm

Kruskal's Algorithm

Kruskal's Algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph.

• More about Kruskal's Algorithm

Prim's Algorithm

Prim's Algorithm is a greedy algorithm that finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph.

• More about Prim's Algorithm

Dynamic Programming

Dynamic Programming is a method for solving complex problems by breaking them down into simpler subproblems. It is applicable where the problem can be broken down into overlapping subproblems that can be solved independently.

Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci sequence is a series of numbers where the next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it. Starting 0 and 1, the sequence goes: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, ...

Knapsack Problem

The Knapsack Problem is a combinatorial optimization problem. Given a set of items, each with a weight and a value, the goal is to determine the number of each item to include in a collection so that the total weight is less than or equal to a given limit and the total value is as large as possible.
