Sorting algorithms allow us to put data in a certain order.
Sort algorithms
- A sort algorithm is a set of instructions to arrange a dataset into a particular order.
Efficient sorting

Examples of sorting algorithms
- There are hundreds of sorting algorithms, but you only need to learn three:
- Bubble sort
- Insertion sort
- Merge sort
