# Sorting Algorithms
|
|
Sorting is the process of putting data in a specific order. The way to arrange data in a specific order
|
|
is specified by the sorting algorithm. The most typical orders are lexical or numerical. The significance
|
|
of sorting lies in the fact that, if data is stored in a sorted manner, data searching can be highly optimised.
|
|
Another use for sorting is to represent data in a more readable manner.
|
|
|
|
This section contains a lot of important algorithms that helps us to use sorting algorithms in various scenarios.
