As we
found with the binary search,
|
|
|
|
– |
our
data needs to be sorted to be able use more
|
|
|
|
efficient
methods of searching.
|
|
|
| • |
There
are two categories of sorting algs
|
|
|
|
– |
Internal
sorting requires that all of your data fit into
|
|
|
|
memory
(an array or a LLL)
|
|
|
|
– |
External
sorting is used when your data can't fit into
|
|
|
memory
all at once (maybe you have a very large
|
|
|
|
database),
and so sorting is done using disk files.
