Answer True or False Sorting a chain of linked nodes is usually easier than sort

Question

Answer True or False Sorting a chain of linked nodes is usually easier than sorting an array The recursive selection sort performs the same operators as the iterative method Performance of the selection sort depends on how scrambled the data is before starting Shell sort is based on insertion sort. A disadvantage of merge sort is the need for a temporary array during the merge step. In quick sort, the choice of pivots affects its behavior. Divide and conquer algorithms can only be written recursively Radix sort is a general-purpose sorting algorithm. The iterative merge sort algorithm is much simpler than the recursive algorithm Merge sort is only efficient for sorting a small number of items if you only need to sort a large array once

Explanation / Answer

a) Sorting of array elements is easier compared to linked nodes. Therefore the given statement is FALSE.

b) The recursive selection sort performs same operators as iterative but the way of calling is different. Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

c) Performance of selection sort depends on the how data is scrambled. Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

d) Shell sort is based on insertion sort. Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

e) Merge sort needs temporary memory to perform sorting. This is the disadvantage of merge sort. Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

f) In quick sort, selection of pivot elements affects the performance of the quick sort. Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

g) Some of the sorting algorithms written in recursively. Divide and conquer algorithm is not the only algorithm written in recursively. Therefore the given statement is FALSE.

h) Radix sorting is one of the general purpose algorithm. Therefore the given statement is TRUE.

I) Iterative merge sort algorithm is like a recursive algorithm but the way of call the methods are different. Both looks like difficult. Therefore the given statement is FALSE.

j) Merge sort is not the only algorithm efficient compare to other algorithms to sort the elements. Therefore the given statement is FALSE.
