Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In which scenario is Quick Sort generally preferred over Merge Sort?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what Quick Sort and Merge Sort are. Both are algorithms used to sort data.
Step 2: Learn that Quick Sort is an in-place sorting algorithm, meaning it sorts the data without needing extra space for another array.
Step 3: Recognize that Merge Sort requires additional memory to hold the sorted data, which can be a problem if memory is limited.
Step 4: Conclude that when you have limited memory, Quick Sort is usually the better choice because it uses less memory.
