Summary

In this chapter, we have explored important and popular sorting algorithms that are very useful for many real-world applications. We have discussed the bubble sort, insertion sort, selection sort, quicksort, and Timsort algorithms, along with explaining their implementation in Python. In general, the quicksort algorithm performs better than the other sorting algorithms, and the Timsort algorithm is the best choice to use in real-world applications.

In the next chapter, we will discuss selection algorithms.
