Sorting Algorithms (bubble sort, merge sort)

Small datasets only
Memory-constrained environments
Large datasets requiring stable sorting
Merge sort is preferred for large datasets because: 1) Guaranteed O(n log n) time complexity, 2) Stable sorting characteristics, 3) Predictable performance regardless of input, 4) Efficient for large-scale data, 5) Parallelization potential, 6) Suitable for external sorting, 7) Better scalability than bubble sort, 8) Optimal for complex data organization needs.
