Why O(n^2) Algorithms Don’t Run the Same: A...

Introduction Have you ever wondered why algorithms with the same time complexity behave differently in practice? While learning sorting algorithms, I noticed something interesting: Algorithms with the same time complexity can perform very differently in practice. Instead of only relying on theoretical analysis, I decided to build a small benchmark in C to compare the runtime performance of six sorting algorithms. This project helped me better understand not only time complexity, but also how rea
