Practice Questions

Q1
In which scenario does Heap Sort perform better than Quick Sort?
  1. When the array is nearly sorted
  2. When the array is large
  3. When memory usage is a concern
  4. When the array is small

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which scenario does Heap Sort perform better than Quick Sort?
  • Step 1: Understand what Heap Sort and Quick Sort are. Both are algorithms used to sort data.
  • Step 2: Know that Heap Sort is an in-place sorting algorithm, meaning it uses a small, fixed amount of extra memory.
  • Step 3: Recognize that Quick Sort can use more memory, especially if it creates many temporary arrays during sorting.
  • Step 4: Identify scenarios where memory is limited or a concern, such as on devices with low RAM.
  • Step 5: Conclude that in these memory-constrained scenarios, Heap Sort is a better choice because it uses less memory than Quick Sort.
