What (who) is radix sorting - definition

NON-COMPARATIVE INTEGER SORTING ALGORITHM
Radix sorting; Bucket trie; Radix Sort; Radixsort; RadixSort; LSD radix sort
  • An [[IBM card sorter]] performing a radix sort on a large set of [[punched cards]]. Cards are fed into a hopper below the operator's chin and are sorted into one of the machine's 13 output baskets, based on the data punched into one column on the cards. The crank near the input hopper is used to move the read head to the next column as the sort progresses. The rack in back holds cards from the previous sorting pass.

Radix sort         
In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm. It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix.
Mixed radix         
POSITIONAL NUMERAL SYSTEM IN WHICH POSITIONS HAVE DIFFERENT NUMERICAL BASES
Mixed Radix; Mixed-radix
Mixed radix numeral systems are non-standard positional numeral systems in which the numerical base varies from position to position. Such numerical representation applies when a quantity is expressed using a sequence of units that are each a multiple of the next smaller one, but not by the same factor.

Radix sort

In computer science, radix sort is a non-comparative sorting algorithm. It avoids comparison by creating and distributing elements into buckets according to their radix. For elements with more than one significant digit, this bucketing process is repeated for each digit, while preserving the ordering of the prior step, until all digits have been considered. For this reason, radix sort has also been called bucket sort and digital sort.

Radix sort can be applied to data that can be sorted lexicographically, be they integers, words, punch cards, playing cards, or the mail.
