Internal sorting
it means we are arranging the number within the array only which is in computer primary memory.
External sorting
it is the sorting of numbers from the external file by reading it from secondary memory.

∙ 9y agoInternal Sorting takes place in the main memory of a computer. The internal sorting methods are applied to small collection of data. It means that, the entire collection of data to be sorted in small enough that the sorting can take place within main memory.
The External sorting methods are applied only when the number of data elements to be sorted is too large. These methods involve as much external processing as processing in the CPU. This sorting requires auxiliary storage.
-internal sorting takes small input, whereas external sorting can take as much as large input...
-The external sorting algorithm has to deal with loading and unloading chunks of data in optimal manner.

Is selection sort internal sorting or external sorting?
internal sorting ..............Kaleem
What is the difference between worst case and best case scenario of sorting techniques?
good
Is merge sort external sorting?
Can be. (Meaning: you can merge sorted files without loading them entirely into the main memory.)
What is the difference between searching and sorting in design analysis algorithm?
When you're searching for something you are simply examining each entity, comparing them with another entity in order to locate a match. When you're sorting entities, you are re-arranging the order of those entities. In both cases you will perform a comparison between two entities at a time, the only real difference is that you do not re-arrange the entities when searching.
Using only one program implement bubble sorting insertion sorting quick sorting and selection sorting?
Its simple!dirve a menu based prog by using switch case & then apply every sorting function to it.

What is internal and external sorting techniques?
Internal sorting it means we are arranging the number within the array only which is in computer primary memory. External sorting it is the sorting of numbers from the external file by reading it from secondary memory.
What is difference between internal and external data structure?
Internal SortingExternal sortingIn internal sorting all the data to sort is stored in memory at all times while sorting is in progress.In external sorting data is stored outside memory (like on disk) and only loaded into memory in small chunks.The internal sorting methods are applied to small collection of data. The External sorting methods are applied only when the number of data elements to be sorted is too large. internal sorting takes input only which can be fit into its memory...i.e. it takes small inputexternal sorting can take as much as large input…Internal sort is more flexible as we can alter or update data before and after performing internal sort whereas the same doesn't hold true for external sort.internal sorting is independent of time to read/write a recordexternal ids dependent on the same
Is external sorting is possible in other sorting technique except merge sort?
YES
What is the difference between worst case and best case scenario of sorting techniques?
good
What is the definition of internal sorting?
Sorting that is accomplished entirely in memory without using disks or tapes for temporary files.
The difference between partition to classification?
Classification is sorting out things due to scientific process. Partition is eminent domain.
Is merge sort external sorting?
Can be. (Meaning: you can merge sorted files without loading them entirely into the main memory.)
What is the difference between sorting and searching in a database?
Searching allows you to find data that meets specific criteria. Sorting allows you to organize that data, based upon the rules you choose (most common is alphabetical).
Which sorting technique is the best and why?
The best sorting technique depends heavily on the number and type of elements you are sorting, whether or not the list is partially sorted, if it can be sorted completely in memory or requires external devices, and so forth. There is no best sorting technique; it depends on the sort requirements at the time.
