trade-offs in sorting algorithms

Trade-offs in sorting algorithms refer to the compromises made between different aspects of efficiency when designing and selecting sorting algorithms. These trade-offs usually involve time complexity, space complexity, and stability. For instance, some algorithms prioritize speed but require more memory, while others prioritize using less memory but may sacrifice speed. Additionally, the issue of stability arises when maintaining the order of elements with equal keys during sorting. Different sorting algorithms make different trade-offs to optimize these factors based on specific requirements and constraints.
