Sorting Algorithms in C

Sorting in general refers to various methods of arranging or ordering things based on criterias. In Computer Science, due to obvious reasons, Sorting is of immense importance and is one of the most extensively researched subjects. It is one of the most fundamental algorithmic problems. So much so that it is also fundmental to many other fundamental algorithmic problems such as search algorithms, merge algorithms etc. It is estimated that around 25% of all CPU cycles are used to sort data. There are many approaches to sorting data and each has its own merits and demerits. This article discusses some of the common sorting algorithms.
