‘ MSD RadixSort. No sort based on comparisons can be faster than O(N log N). ‘ RadixSort makes no comparisons and can therefore achieve O(N) behavior. To ‘ do this,

‘ HeapSort. A compact routine that sorts data in place (no extra memory needed)’ and is guaranteed to run in O(N log N) time no matter how the input data

‘ MergeSort. A stable sort (preserves original order of records with equal ‘ keys). Like HeapSort, easily adapted to any data type and guaranteed to run ‘ in O(N log
