sorting algorithms
"Sorting algorithms" refer to a set of systematic methods used to organize or arrange data elements in a specific order. These algorithms establish a defined sequence based on certain criteria, such as numerical or alphabetical order, and are essential in various computer science applications. Sorting algorithms are designed to efficiently rearrange elements within a data structure, optimizing the process of searching, retrieving, or displaying information. The choice of a sorting algorithm depends on factors like the size of the data set, desired performance, and the characteristics of the data being sorted.
