When the data is mostly sorted
Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In which scenario would you prefer Merge Sort over Quick Sort?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what Merge Sort and Quick Sort are. Both are algorithms used to sort data.
Step 2: Know that Merge Sort divides the data into smaller parts, sorts them, and then merges them back together.
Step 3: Learn that Quick Sort picks a 'pivot' element and sorts the data around it, which can be faster for arrays.
Step 4: Recognize that Merge Sort is better for linked lists because it doesn't require extra space for arrays.
Step 5: Remember that linked lists are a type of data structure where elements are connected by pointers, not stored in contiguous memory.
Step 6: Conclude that if you are sorting a linked list, you would prefer Merge Sort over Quick Sort.
