Imagine you're tasked with implementing a priority queue using a sorting algorithm. Which sorting algorithm would you choose and why?
- Bubble Sort
- Heap Sort
- Merge Sort
- Selection Sort
Heap Sort is the ideal choice for implementing a priority queue. It has a time complexity of O(n log n), making it efficient for maintaining a priority queue structure. Selection Sort, Bubble Sort, and Merge Sort have higher time complexities and are less suitable for priority queue operations.
