Cycle SortCycle sort is a comparison sorting algorithm which forces array to be factored into the number of cycles where each of them can be rotated to produce a sorted array. It is theoretically optimal in the sense that it reduces the number of writes to the original array. AlgorithmConsider an array of n distinct elements. An element a is given, index of a can be calculated by counting the number of elements that are smaller than a.
The illustrated process constitutes a cycle. Repeating this cycle for each element of the list. The resulting list will be sorted. ![]() C programOutput: After sort, array : 1 2 2 2 3 4 9 10 45 Java ProgramOutput: After sort, array : 1 2 2 2 3 4 9 10 45 C# ProgramOutput: After sort, array : 1 2 2 2 3 4 9 10 45
