Quick sort does not divide the array into equal parts whereas merge sort divides the array into equal parts.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Quick Sort is preferred for Arrays?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>One of the main reasons for efficiency in quick sort is locality of reference, which makes it easy for the computer system to access memory locations that are near to each other, which is faster than memory locations scattered throughout the memory which is the case in merge sort.<br \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>Quick sort is an in-place sorting algorithm i.e. it does not require any extra space, whereas Merge sort requires an additional linear space, which may be quite expensive. In merge sort, the allocation and deallocation of the extra space increases the running time of the algorithm.<br \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>The most practical implementation of Quick sort uses a randomized version which has an expected time complexity of O(NlogN). Although in the randomized version the worst case is possible, but for a particular pattern (like sorted array) the worst case doesn\u2019t occur, and therefore the randomized quick sort works well in practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Why Merge Sort is preferred for Linked List?<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Merge sort is preferred for linked list, the nodes may not be present at adjacent memory locations, therefore Merge Sort is used.<br \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>Unlike arrays, in linked lists, we can insert items in the middle in O(1) extra space and O(1) time if we are given a reference\/pointer to the previous node. Therefore, we can implement the merge operation in the merge sort without using extra space.<br \/>\n<\/li>\n<li>Quick Sort requires a lot of access to different memory locations. To access i<sup>th<\/sup> index in a linked list, we have to travel each and every node from the head to i<sup>th<\/sup> node as we don\u2019t have a continuous block of memory. Therefore, the overhead increases for quick sort. On the other hand, merge sort accesses data sequentially and the need for random access is low.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>This blog tried to discuss the main reason behind why Quick Sort is preferred for Arrays and why merge sort is preferred for Linked List. we hope you will understand the reason in details.
