Sorting-and-Searching

Sorting and searching are fundamental concepts in computer science that play a crucial role in data management and retrieval. Sorting refers to the process of arranging elements in a specific order, either ascending or descending, based on certain criteria. This organization facilitates easier data access and analysis. Searching, on the other hand, involves locating a specific item within a dataset that meets a defined criterion. Efficient searching often relies on sorted data, allowing algorithms like binary search to operate faster than linear search methods. Together, sorting and searching enhance the efficiency of data processing and retrieval in various applications.
