Sorting Techniques In Data Structure

     ⇰  SORTING :-

 In our day-to-day life there are many things that we need to search for , like any page in book, phone number in directory, any record in database etc.  All these  would have been mixed up if these data was kept unordered and unsorted. For this purpose fortunately the concept of sorting is introduced. Sorting makes easier for everyone to arrange any data in an order, hence searching becomes easier. Means sorting arranges data in a sequence or in order which makes searching easier.

⇾ After applying the sorting technique, If the contents do not change the sequence of similar content in which they appear, it is called stable sorting technique.
⇾ After applying the sorting technique, if  the contents do change the sequence of similar content in which they appear, it is called unstable sorting technique.

    ⇰  SORTING ORDERS :-
⇾ Basically all sorting techniques sorts the given data in following orders :- 
 i > Increasing Order :- The order of data is  said to be in increasing order, if the successive element is greater than the previous element. For example, 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9 are in increasing order, as every next element is greater than the previous element.
ii > Decreasing Order :- The order of data is said to  be in decreasing order, if the successive element is less than the current element. For example, 11, 9, 6, 3, 1 are in decreasing order, as every next element is less than the previous element.

⇰  DIFFERENT SORTING TECHNIQUES :-
There are many different types of sorting techniques available. All of them are differentiated by their efficiency. Some of Sorting techniques are as follows which we will discuss in upcoming posts seperately :-
∘ Insertion sort.
∘ Selection Sort.
∘ Bubble Sort..
Click on the type of sorting technique above to get direct link of that technique.

Process Scheduling And Types of Process Schedular :-

        ⇰ PROCESS SCHEDULING Process Scheduling  is a task  of Operating System that schedules processes of different states like new, ready, waiting, terminated  and running.This scheduling helps in allocation of CPU time for each process, and Operating System allocates the CPU time for each procss. And the process scheduling plays important role to keep the CPU busy all the time.  ⏩   Followings are some objectives of Process Scheduling :-  i > To increase the amount of users within acceptable response times.  ii > To maintain the balance between response and utilization of system. iii > To decrease the enforce priorities and  give reference to the processes holding the key resources.      ⇰  PROCESS SCHEDULAR A scheduler carries out the pro cess scheduling work. Schedulers are often implemented so they keep all computer resources busy and  allows multiple users to share system resources  to achieve  multiprogramming .  There are  mainy three types of pro

Process & Its state And process control block :-

                ⇰  PROCESS :- A process can be thought of as a program in execution. Means when any program is executed it becomes process. A processwill need certain resources such as CPU time , memory, files and I/O devices to complete its task. These resources are allocated to the process either when it is created or at the time of execution.             A process is the unit of work in most systems. A system consistes of a collection of processes. All these processes may execute concurrently. Traditionally a process contained only a single thread. Most modern operating ststems now supports processes that have multiple threads.         The operating system is responsible for several important works of process management as - the creation and deletion of process, the schrduling of process, communication and deadlock handling of process. Process is broudly divided into two types:-  i> System  Process. ii> User Process. Early computers allowed only one program be ex

Semaphores In Process Synchronization

   ⇰  Semaphores :-   Semaphore is actually a method or tool to prevent race condition. Race condition can cause loss of data or even deadlock situation. For prevention from these conditions, the semaphore is one of the method.  Semaphore was proposed by Dijkstra in 1965. Simaphore    is a very significant technique to manage concurrent processes.  Semaphore is useful tool in the prevention of race condition. But the use of semaphore never means a guarantee that a program is free from these problems.     Semaphore is an integer variable which is used in mutual exclusive manner by various concurrent cooperative processes in order to acheive synchronization. Hence semaphore is one of the way to achieve synchronization.  Semaphore is basically  a variable which is non-negative and shared between threads. This variable is used to solve the critical section problem and to achieve process synchronization in the multiprocessing environment. Semaphore contains some operations as f
