sorting algorithm
A sorting algorithm is a predefined set of logic that arranges a list of elements in a specific order, such as numerical or alphabetical order. The algorithm operates on the list by comparing the values of each element and swapping their positions until the desired order is achieved. The efficiency of a sorting algorithm is measured by its time complexity and space complexity, which determine how quickly it can sort a large number of elements and how much memory it requires to do so.
