Sorting. It’s a classic problem that’s been studied for decades, and it’s a great first step towards “thinking algorithmically.” Over the years, a handful of sorting algorithms have ...

For example, novel algorithms have been developed that leverage the induced sorting principle, achieving reduced time and workspace complexities even when handling sparse data sets [1].

Both a sorted array and a binary tree can let you look up an element in log(N) time. However I would expect a sorted array to be faster in practice because of the constant factor. However ...

The methods are illustrated by comparing the proposed algorithms with previously studied hierarchical and two-dimensional array algorithms for detecting recent HIV infections in North Carolina.
