BucketSort is a family of sorting algorithms which divide an array into buckets of related values, sort each bucket with some other sorting algorithm, and then concatenates them. MSD RadixSort is often a form of BucketSort. BucketSort's WorstCase performance is O(n^2), its average case is O(n+k), and its space complexity is O(n*k), where k is the number of buckets. In a well-implemented BucketSort, however, the can drop to O(n + k) by allocating only enough space to hold every element in the array, then storing pointers to where each bucket starts. CountingSort is a specialisation of BucketSort where the size of each bucket is always one.
