What are Sorting Algorithms?

Sorting algorithms are methods for reorganizing a sequence of items in a specific order, typically in ascending or descending sequence. These algorithms are fundamental to computer science and form the backbone of many complex systems.

From organizing databases to optimizing search functions, sorting algorithms play a crucial role in software development. Understanding how they work and their efficiency characteristics helps developers choose the right algorithm for specific tasks.
