#C++ Sorting Algorithm implementation

A collection of Sorting Algorithm implemented in C++11. See the develop branch for latest version.

###Insertion Sort Worst case performance O(n2) comparisons, swaps
Best case performance O(n) comparisons, O(1) swaps
Average case performance O(n2) comparisons, swaps
Worst case space complexity O(n) total, O(1)

###Merge Sort Worst case performance O(n log n)
Best case performance O(n log n) typical, O(n) natural variant
Average case performance O(n log n)
Worst case space complexity O(n) auxiliary
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mergesort

###Heap Sort Worst case performance O(n log n)
Best case performance Omega(n), O(n log n)
Average case performance O(n log n)
Worst case space complexity O(n) total, O(1) auxiliary
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heapsort

###Quick Sort Worst case performance O(n2) (extremely rare)
Best case performance O(n log n)
Average case performance O(n log n)
Worst case space complexity O(n) auxiliary (naive) O(log n) auxiliary (Sedgewick 1978)

###Bubble Sort Worst case performance O(n^2)
Best case performance O(n)
Average case performance O(n^2)
Space inplace
