Abstract

Searching data and sorting through data are fundamental algorithms. Searching refers to iterating over the data structure’s elements to retrieve some data. Sorting refers to putting the data structure’s elements in order. The searching and sorting algorithms are different for every data structure. This chapter focuses on searching and sorting for arrays. By the end of this chapter, you will understand how to use common sorting and searching algorithms for arrays.
