Here i am representing an example of Stable Sort: A sort which
doesn't change the relative position of same/equal elements.
For example,
I/P: 2, 4, 3(a), 5, 1, 3(b)
O/P: 1, 2, 3(a), 3(b), 4, 5
In I/P 3(b) comes after 3(a) and the same stays intact in the O/P.
Let us take the following example to explain the above :
3,3,2,1
we consider the first 3 to be 3(a) and second 3 to be 3(b).
3(a),3(b),2,1
Heapsort begins by extracting the maximum number from the max-heap, which is the first element and then putting it on the last position.
Example -:
3(b),2,1,3(a)
Then size is decreased by 1 and a heapify operation is applied.Therefore the new size is 3 and the first three elements already satisfy the heap property.
Now the next step which show that heapsort is not stable.
Again we will extract the maximum from the heap which is the first element and put it in last position.
But because size is now 3, the last position is left of 3(a) and
hence we get:
like-:
2,1,3(b),3(a)
As we can see that order of the elements 3(a) and 3(b) is reversed from the original order and remaining part of the heapsort will only sort the first two elements and therefore, the elements 3(a) and 3(b) will remain intact at their positions. This is the reason that heapsort is not stable.
The final result is
1,2,3(b),3(a) which changes the relative order of elements.
2.Ans-:
. Heapsort is unstable sort because It might rearrange the relative order of items that have the same key and differ it in the way they are present in initial array .
As seen in the above example The final sequence of the results from heapsort comes from removing items from the created heap based on the key field .Any information about the ordering of the items in the original sequence was lost during the heap creation stage, which came first.

Is quick sort a stable or unstable sorting algorithm. Explain with an example.
Is quicksort a stable sorting algorithm? If yes, prove it, if not, give an example.
in C++ HeapSort Implement the heapsort algorithm for sorting an array of integers. Input structure Each case starts with an integer number which indicates the number of elements to be sorted. Then, the elements follow, one per line. You can assume the input is correctly structured (i.e., no data are missing Output structure Output the sorted sequence separeted by";" (in non-decreasing order). Do not insert spaces or a new line at the beginning or at the end of any element.

Consider the following three sorting algorithms: MergeSort (as studied), TreeSort (as described in Q14, and HeapSort described here: (1) iterate over a vector of values and insert next values one by one into a min-heap; then (2) repeat taking the top of the heap and re- inserting it into the next vector position (starting at index 0 and counting up), followed by popping the heap; once the heap is empty, the vector is sorted in ascending order. Complete each with...

2. In class, we discussed the recursive Merge-Sort algorithm. This sorts the whole array by sorting the left side, sorting the right side, and then merging them. Write a similar recursive algorithm that finds the maximum element of an array. (Find the max of the left side, then find the maximum of the right side, then compare the two.) Write pseudo-code for this algorithm. Give the recurrence relation that describes the number of comparisons that your algorithm uses.
