How to Bubble Sort implementation in a Binary Search in Go || Data Structures and Algorithms in Go

Hey guys! This video shows yall how to implement a bubble sort algorithm into a binary search problem/question if you need to do so! Typically, it is best to use the built-in language sort functions, but if you need to create your own on the job or in an interview this is how you do it!

A bubble sort algorithm could be beneficial in combination with a binary search algorithm in a specific context where the input data is initially unsorted. Here's the reasoning:

Binary Search Requires a Sorted List: The key requirement for a binary search is that the list of elements must be sorted in order to work efficiently. If the list is unsorted, you must first sort it.

Simple and Easy-to-Implement Sorting: While more efficient sorting algorithms exist (like Merge Sort or Quick Sort), Bubble Sort is simple to implement and easy to understand. If the list size is small or the data is nearly sorted, Bubble Sort's time complexity might not be a major concern, and its simplicity becomes an advantage.

Nearly Sorted Data: In cases where the list is almost sorted, Bubble Sort performs much better than its worst-case O(n²) time complexity, potentially achieving near O(n) time. If the data being input into the binary search is often only slightly disordered, a bubble sort might be advantageous because it can quickly handle small changes or out-of-order elements without the overhead of more complex algorithms.

Low Overhead for Small Data Sets: Bubble Sort has low memory overhead since it's an in-place sorting algorithm. Suppose the list to be searched is small. In that case, the time complexity of Bubble Sort (O(n²)) is less impactful, and the algorithm can be sufficient to prepare the data for the binary search with minimal extra memory consumption.

Have a great day guys, and comment down below if you have any questions!

DUDE THIS IS AMAZING IT HELPED ME OUT SO MUCH. I really liked the part where you talked about Bubble Sort Implementation in a binary search in go.

Love your content, but I do have one question…what is a computer? If you could address this is your next video I would greatly appreciate it!!!
