Sorting All the way to DSA

Sorting means arranging a given array or list of elements based on a comparison operator. This operator helps determine the new order of the elements in the data structure. For example, you may need to sort the array in descending or ascending order,...

Mastering Counting Sort: A Comprehensive Guide

What is Counting Sort? Counting sort is a linear sorting algorithm that sorts the elements of an array by counting the number of occurrences of each unique element in the array. The count is stored in an auxiliary array (auxiliary is just a fancy wor...
