Radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm that sorts data by grouping keys based on individual digit values. It uses bucket sort repeatedly on each digit place value, from least to most significant. This requires a number of passes equal to the maximum digit length. Each pass takes O(n+k) time, so the total time complexity is O(d(n+k)) where d is the digit length. Radix sort is very efficient and requires minimal space and data movement compared to other algorithms.

2. Radix Means : The base of a system of
numeration
Examples:
• The decimal number system that we use every day has 10
digits {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9} and so the radix is 10.

3. RADIX SORT
 Radix sort is generalization of bucket sort.
 It uses several passes of bucket sort.
 Radix sort is stable and fast.

4. • In Computer Science Radix Sort is a non –
comparative integer sorting algorithm that sort
data with integer keys by grouping keys by the
individual digits which share same significant
position and value.

5. RADIX SORT
• Unlike other sorting algorithms Radix sort is not
based on the general algorithm strategy above,
but on a totally different method. It is
interesting because it requires the absolute
minimum amount of space and the minimum
amount of data movement, and, most amazing
of all, it does no comparisons.

6. CLASSIFICATIONS
1. Least Significant Digit (LSD) radix sorts
2. Most Significant Digit (MSD) radix sorts

7. LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT
(LSD) RADIX SORTS
 How many times we will sort the number ?
or
How many passes will required ?

8. LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT
(LSD) RADIX SORTS
Examples :
4310 , 357 , 251 , 78

9. LEAST SIGNIFICANT DIGIT
(LSD) RADIX SORTS
Examples :
4310 , 357 , 251 , 78
So 4 passes will require .

The Numbers are now sorted

41. ALGORITHM
1.Create an array a[ 0…..n-1] elements.
2.Call bucket sort repeatedly on least to most
significant digit of each element as the key.
3.Return the sorted array.

42. ANALYSIS
Each pass over n d-digit numbers and k base
keys then takes time O(n+k). (Assuming
counting sort is used for each pass.)
There are d passes, so the total time for radix
sort is O(d (n+k)).
When d is a constant and total run time = O(n)

43. COMPLEXITY ANALYSIS:
The complexity is O((n+b)∗logb(maxx))
where b is the base for representing numbers
and maxx is the maximum element of the input
array. This is clearly visible as we make (n+b)
iterations logb(maxx) times (number of digits in
the maximum element) . If maxx ≤ n^c , then
the complexity can be written as O(n∗logb(n)).
