radix sort
c language

note
A sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts components of a listing in a certain order. The most-used orders are numerical order and lexicographic order.

The Radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm. The Radix sort algorithm is the most preferred algorithm for the unsorted list.

It sorts the elements by initially grouping the individual digits of the same place value. The idea of Radix Sort is to do digit by digit sort starting from least significant digit(LSD) to the most significant digit(MSD), according to their increasing/decreasing order. Radix sort is a small method that is used several times when alphabetizing an oversized list of names. Specifically, the list of names is initially sorted according to the first letter of every name, that is, the names are organized in twenty-six categories.

Let us review the following illustration to understand clearly about the working of the radix sort algorithm. Clearly, the number of pass/iteration depends on the size of the highest individual number. Complexity Analysis of Radix Sort O(m.n).

Algorithm
Radix_sort (list, n)
shift = 1
for loop = 1 to keysize do
for entry = 1 to n do
bucketnumber = (list[entry].key / shift) mod 10
append (bucket[bucketnumber], list[entry])
list = combinebuckets()
shift = shift * 10
