Algorithm Design

Description of bottleneck

In their work on algorithm design Yaqoob et al. list and investigate the following bottlenecks related to sorting algorithms:

• Understanding the nested structureand the design approach
• The usefulness of the divide step.
• Understanding recursions to combining solution to sub-problems.
• Dealing with repeated numbers using indices.
• How to transform the algorithm to handle largeand negative numbers.
• Understanding the stable version.
