![]() Least-significant-digit-first radix sort.While sorting the numbers, we have ten buckets, each for one digit (0, 1, 2, …, 9) and the number of passes will depend on the length of the number having the maximum number of digits. The sorting procedure proceeds by sorting the least significant to the most significant digit. ![]() When radix sort is used on integers, sorting is done on each of the digits in the number. In the second pass, collect the names from the second bucket, and so on. That is, first pick up the names in the first bucket that contains the names beginning with A. This process is continued till the nth pass, where n is the length of the name with the maximum number of letters.Īfter every pass, all the names are collected in order of buckets. After the second pass, names are sorted on the first two letters. That is, 26 classes are used to arrange the names, where the first class stores the names that begin with A, the second class contains the names with B, and so on.ĭuring the second pass, names are grouped according to the second letter. In radix sort, words are first sorted according to the first letter of the name. ![]() So radix sort is also known as bucket sort. When we have a list of sorted names, the radix is 26 (or 26 buckets) because there are 26 letters in the English alphabet. Radix sort is a linear sorting algorithm for integers and uses the concept of sorting names in alphabetical order. ![]()
