Which sorting algorithms can be employed for external
sorting?
Merge Sort, Heap Sort, Quick Sort
Illustrate with reasons
The answer is merge sort but I don't know how to explain with reason
Merge Sort
One example of external sorting is the external merge sort algorithm, which is a K-way merge algorithm. It sorts chunks that each fit in RAM, then merges the sorted chunks together.
The algorithm first sorts M items at a time and puts the sorted lists back into external memory. It then recursively does a M/B way merge on those sorted lists. To do this merge, B elements from each sorted list are loaded into internal memory, and the minimum is repeatedly outputted.
For example, for sorting 900 megabytes of data using only 100 megabytes of RAM:

Which, if any, of the algorithms bubble-sort, heap-sort, merge-sort, and quick- sort are stable? ( use the algorithms as presented in the text, without special tie-breaking rules; answer separately for the three-way quicksort and the two-way in-place quicksort . )

What action do merge sort, quick sort, and heap sort perform that so radically reduces their complexity? (From O(n2) for the other sorts that we looked at earlier–selection sort, bubble sort, and insertion sort–to O(n log n) for these)? Hint: they all employ a strategy that has to do with how many things they look at in a pass. Describe a situation where merge sort would be a better choice for sorting than quick sort.

Q3. Answer the following questions: a) Explain why Merge sort is the most suited for very large inputs (that do not fit inside memory) while quick sort and heap sort are not as suited. Note that these three sorting techniques have comparable time complexities. b) Can Merge sort be performed in place? Explain your understanding. no handwriting please
