In-Place Sorting

In-place sorting refers to organizing data within its original storage space without needing extra memory. It rearranges the items directly by swapping elements, making it efficient in terms of memory usage. This method is useful for large datasets where conserving space is important. Algorithms like quicksort and heapsort are examples of in-place sorting techniques. They modify the dataset internally, avoiding the need for additional copies, which makes them faster and more memory-efficient in many situations.
