designeds when sorting inplace was important
|
|
|
|
works best of primitive types as they can be stored in the fastest memory location
|
|
|
|
- memory access can be localised and the comparisions are direct
|
|
- those advantages are limited when sorting objects of reference type
|
|
- i that case each element of the array is just a reference to where the object really is
|
|
- so there are no local access advantages
