Radix Sort(Bucket Sort) Sorting Algorithm (Working & Diagram) | Part - 1 | Sorting Algorithms - DSA

Support Simple Snippets by Donations -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this DSA tutorial we will study and understand the working of Radix Sort sorting algorithm. Radix sort also known as bucket sort, is a non comparative sorting algorithm.
It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix.
For elements with more than one significant digit, this bucketing process is repeated for each digit, while preserving the ordering of the prior step, until all digits have been considered. For this reason, radix sort has also been called bucket sort and digital sort.
Typically Radix sort uses counting sort as a subroutine to sort.
Radix sort has linear time complexity which is better than O(nlog n) of comparative sorting algorithms.
Worst complexity: n*k/d
Average complexity: n*k/d
Space complexity: n+2^d
Working -
Step 1 - Take input array and find MAX number in the array
Step 2 - Define 10 queues each representing a bucket for each digit from 0 to 9.
Step 3 - Consider the least significant digit of each number in the list which is to be sorted.
Step 4 - Insert each number into their respective queue based on the least significant digit.
Step 5 - Group all the numbers from queue 0 to queue 9 in the order they have inserted into their respective queues.
Step 6 - Repeat from step 3 based on the next least significant digit.
Step 7 - Repeat from step 2 until all the numbers are grouped based on the most significant digit.

Tanmay I can’t explain how easy u have made data structure for us, majority of cs/it students struggle with this very aspect, from algorithms to implementation everything has been explained so articulately. Please keep supporting the needy students, not many can afford costly courses. Keep spreading your knowledge!

Good lectures they are lengthy but they not bore you..Hat's off to you.

[aymanalali]

needed it for suffix array optimization thank you 😘😘😘😘😘

[akhilchauhan]

Actually i am learning ds and algo from your channel
You are amazing..

[ayushyadav]

If i was to give award to one of your videos in this series this would be the one.

[asldfkhjaslk]

This was the best video in the series so far.

[shishankrawat]

Undoubtedly the best lecture on this TOPIC.... I loved it very very very

[rogerbrown]

Amazing, this channel deserve much more subscriber and it'll get

[SurajSinghMIS]

Sir keep uploading useful content, you are an awesome teacher, Thanks for it sir..but it seems now-a-days video lecture you are uploading is little slow.Sir upload atleast 2 videos a week :)

tanmy can you make videos tutorials on SQL+Web Application Development
