Sorting and Searching Data

Organizing Information

Sorting and searching are common tasks in computer science. You might need to sort a list of scores or find a friend's name quickly.

How Computers Do It

  • Sorting: Algorithms arrange data in order, making it easier to find things.
  • Searching: Algorithms look for specific data, like finding a movie in a library.

Practice Makes Perfect

Try writing your own sorting or searching program to see how efficient algorithms save time!

Examples

  • Using Bubble Sort to arrange exam scores.

  • Implementing Binary Search to find a number in a list.
