Bucket Sort
Noun · Development
Definitions
A sorting algorithm that distributes values into a set of buckets based on their range or key and then sorts or concatenates those buckets to produce the final order. Bucket sort can be very efficient when input values are uniformly distributed across a known range.
In plain English: A sorting method that groups values into buckets before combining them in order.
Example: "The telemetry processor used bucket sort on bounded integer scores because the value range was tiny compared with the record count."
