Hello, I am Richard. I am a developer, and you should know that I’m not a big fan of data structures and algorithms. If you can relate to this, don’t worry; after working on many projects (small and large), I discovered the six important algorithms that every developer should know, and these six will almost always solve every problem in your development process.

What are those 6 significant algorithms?

1. Sorting Algorithm:

What exactly is sorting?- It is the algorithm that arranges the order of the items in a list.

Important Sorting Algorithms-

• Bubble Sort: Bubble Sort is the most basic sorting algorithm, and it works by repeatedly swapping adjacent elements if they are out of order.
• Merge Sort: Merge sort is a sorting technique that uses the divide and conquer strategy.
• Quicksort: Quicksort is a popular sorting algorithm that performs n log n comparisons on average when sorting an array of n elements. It is a more efficient and faster sorting algorithm.
• Heap Sort: Heap sort works by visualizing the array elements as a special type of complete binary tree known as a…
