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 shar...

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 multiprocess...

DeadLock In Operating System

      ⇰  DEADLOCK :- As we know in a multiprogramming environment several processes may compete for a finite number of resources. If a process requests resources and if the resources are not available at that time, the process enters a state called  waiting state. Sometimes, a waiting process is never again able to change state or never out from waiting state, because the resources it has requested are held by or taken by other waiting processes before this process.This situation is called a Deadlock.     ⇰  DEADLOCK CHARACTERIZATION:- In a deadlock processes never finish executing and system resources are tied up  and also  preventing other jobs from starting. Here are some features that characterize deadlocks. A deadlock situation can arrive if the following four conditions hold simultaneously in any operating system :- 1. Mutual exclusion :- A process must hold at least one resource in a nonsharable mode so tha...
