AI-generatedMergeSort vs HeapSort for Memory-Constrained Datasets
When implementing sorting logic based on the patterns in the thealgorithms repository, a design choice must be made between stability and memory efficiency for large datasets. MergeSort provides stability, ensuring that equal elements retain their original relative order, but it typically requires O(n) auxiliary space. In contrast, HeapSort operates in-place
