Which sort cycles through an array of numbers, comparing a given number with an adjacent number, and swapping if the given number is larger than the adjacent number?

Selection sort

Bubble sort

Heap sort

Quicksort

Which sort breaks up an array of numbers into its individual components, pairing up components, putting them in their proper place, until one big list is remaining which is the sorted list?

Merge sort

Heap sort

Insertion sort

Bubble sort

Which sort breaks up an array into two parts, the sorted (initially empty) and unsorted list, and finds the smallest number from the unsorted list and places it at the end of the sorted list, and then repeats?

Heap sort

Quicksort

Selection sort

Merge Sort

Which sort breaks up an array into two parts, the sorted (initially empty) and unsorted, and uses a heap to build the unsorted group by adding the largest number from the unsorted group to the sorted group?

Quicksort

Heap sort

Bubble sort

Merge sort

Developed in 1959 and still used today, this sort first selects a pivot number in the array, then sorts the other numbers placing them before or after the pivot number. Then in the two lists before and after the pivot number, you repeat the process, until everything is sorted.

Insertion sort

Selection sort

Heap sort

Quicksort

This sort iterates through the initial array, removes one element, and puts it in its proper place as part of the sorted list.
