What is in-place sorting in data structures

What is in-place sorting in data structures


What is in-place sorting algorithm?

The algorithm that uses no additional auxiliary data structures and uses a small constant amount of extra space in addition to the original input is called as in-place sorting algorithm.
A sort algorithm in which the sorted items occupy the same storage as the unsorted ones is in-place sort algorithm. These algorithms may use o(n) (little oh) additional memory for bookkeeping, but at most a constant number of items are kept in auxiliary memory at any time.

List of in-place sorting algorithms

  • Bubble sort
  • Insertion sort
  • Radix sort
  • Quick sort
  • Heap sort
  • Selection sort
  • Shell sort

List of not in-place or out-of-place sorting algorithms

  • Merge sort
