Sorting Algorithms Questions Medium
The time complexity of the cocktail sort algorithm is O(n^2), where n is the number of elements in the array being sorted. This is because the algorithm uses nested loops to compare and swap adjacent elements until the array is sorted. In the worst case scenario, where the array is in reverse order, the algorithm will require n passes to sort the array, and each pass requires n comparisons and swaps. Therefore, the overall time complexity is quadratic.
