Counting Sort w,r,t to negative elements in an array

#1

How is count sort done when there are negative numbers available in the array?

hi @divisha30 you can modify the indices of the array to accomodate negative numbers as well
for eg if your range is from -10 to 10 for eg
you can make an array from 0-21
where 0th index will store frequency of -10 and so on

or you can use a map to store frequencies. If you use a map then it will also save space.
