Choosing the Best Sorting Algorithm
Explore different sorting algorithms including quicksort, merge sort, heap sort, insertion sort, bubble sort, selection sort, count sort, and bucket sort. Understand their advantages, disadvantages, and scenarios in which each algorithm is best suited to make informed decisions for efficient data sorting in Go.

No sorting algorithm is perfect. All have their advantages and disadvantages. Let’s discuss them one by one:
Quicksort
Quicksort is used when a stable sort isn’t required and average-case performance is more critical than worst-case performance. We choose quicksort when the data is random. The quick sort has an average time complexity of and worst-case time complexity of ...
