Imagine you have to sort a list of student records based on their roll numbers, where the records are already partially sorted. Which sorting algorithm would you choose, and why?
- Bubble Sort
- Insertion Sort
- Merge Sort
- Quick Sort
Insertion Sort would be suitable for this scenario. Since the records are already partially sorted, Insertion Sort's efficiency in dealing with nearly sorted data makes it a good choice. It has a linear time complexity for nearly sorted data, making it efficient in situations where the input is already somewhat ordered.
