Selection sort small arrays (i.e. fewer than 10–20 elements). A useful optimization in practice for the recursive algorithms is to switch to insertion sort or selection sort for "small enough" sublists. Heapsort greatly improves the basic algorithm by using an implicit heap data structure to speed up finding and removing the lowest datum. If implemented correctly, the heap will allow finding the next lowest element in Θ(log "n") time instead of Θ("n") for the inner loop in normal selection sort, reducing the total running time to Θ("n" log "n"). A bidirectional variant of selection sort, called cocktail sort, is an algorithm which
