1. Bubble and Merge Sort are referred to as comparison sorts because the values of the two pieces of data are compared during each step. Why are the radix and bucket sort not comparison sorts?
Answer
Radix and bucket sort are not referred to as comparison sorts because the values of the data are not being compared when they are sorted. In radix and bucket sorting, the numbers are sorted by their digits and they’re put into “buckets.”
2. Which sort do you think would be the fastest if you had to sort more than one deck of cards? Why?
Answer
If you wanted to sort more than one deck of cards, i tink bucket sort would be the fastest because you don't have to waste lots of time on comparing each individual card, you can simply put cards into their buckets to sort them.
