Question

A website organizes its list of contributors in alphabetical order by last name. The website’s new manager would prefer the contributor list to be ordered in reverse alphabetical order instead. Which classic algorithm would be best suited to complete this task?



Linear/Sequential Search


Selection Sort


Insertion Sort


None of these algorithms are viable options.

Answer 1

I don’t know for sure but I think the answer might be linear/sequential search because sequences a certain way of applying something.

Answer 2

Answer:

Selection Sort

Explanation:

Linear Sort is useful for a small array, not for large ones like a list for a website.

Insertion Sort is useful for semi-organized arrays.

Therefore Selection Sort is the way to go.
