A General Comparison Sort is a type of sorting algorithm that organizes a list of items by comparing them to one another. This method relies on a comparison operation to determine the order of elements, such as whether one item is greater than, less than, or equal to another. Common examples of comparison sorts include Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and Bubble Sort. These algorithms can handle various data types, including numbers and strings, making them versatile for different applications. The efficiency of a general comparison sort often depends on the specific algorithm used, with average time complexities typically ranging from O(n log n) to O(n²).
