Imagine you are implementing a sorting algorithm for a small embedded system with limited memory and processing power. Would you choose Insertion Sort or Quick Sort, and justify your choice?
- Both would work equally well
- Insertion Sort
- Neither would work well
- Quick Sort
For a small embedded system with limited resources, Insertion Sort is a better choice. It has lower memory requirements and performs well on small datasets. Quick Sort, being a recursive algorithm, may consume more memory and might not be as efficient in such resource-constrained environments.
