What is sorting?
Before you can implement an algorithm, it is very important that you understand what the core problem is that the algorithm is meant to solve. In other words, before you implement a sorting algorithm, you need to understand what sorting is. We all know that sorting is the systematic process of placing items in an increasing or decreasing order based on a certain characteristic. For example, in manufacturing, it is common to sort items such as bags of sand or cement in a certain order based on their weight or another characteristic, such as their overall size.
Sorting is a simple concept that can be done in many ways. This means that there are many different algorithms that can be used to sort items. In terms of computer science, sorting can be a very resource-intensive task. For example, a computer or PLC may need to sort through millions of data points to find the smallest or largest characteristic of a part or parts. Sorting through copious amounts of data points...
