Can bubble sort be used efficiently for sorting large datasets? Why or why not?

  • It depends on the distribution of elements in the dataset
  • No, it has a time complexity of O(n^2), making it inefficient for large datasets
  • Only for datasets with a prime number of elements
  • Yes, it has a linear time complexity for large datasets
Bubble sort is not efficient for sorting large datasets due to its time complexity of O(n^2). The algorithm involves nested loops, making the number of comparisons and swaps increase quadratically with the size of the dataset, leading to poor performance for large datasets.
