You're working on a project where the input data is nearly sorted. Which sorting algorithm would you choose and why?
- Bubble Sort
- Insertion Sort
- Merge Sort
- Quick Sort
Insertion Sort is the most suitable choice for nearly sorted data. It has a time complexity of O(n) in the best-case scenario, making it efficient when data is already close to its final sorted position. Merge Sort, Quick Sort, and Bubble Sort, on the other hand, have higher time complexities for nearly sorted data, making them less efficient in this scenario.
