Quicksort is a common sorting algorithm with an average case complexity of O(n log n) and a worst case complexity of O(n^2). Its advantage over other O(n log n) methods is that it can be executed in-place. Quicksort splits the input on a chosen pivot value, separating the list into those values tha...

Merge Sort is a common sorting algorithm with an average case complexity of O(n log n) and a worst case complexity of O(n log n). Although it cannot be executed in-place, it guarantees O(n log n) complexity in all cases. Merge Sort repeatedly splits the input in two, until an empty list or single-e...
