The arranging of data in a logical sequence is called ___________.
The arranging of data in a logical sequence is called ___________.
The correct option is A Sorting
The arranging of data in a logical sequence is
called Sorting.
Sorting is the process of rearranging a sequence of
objects so as to put them in some logical order. Sorting plays a major role in
commercial data processing and in modern scientific computing. Applications
abound in transaction processing, combinatorial optimization, astrophysics,
molecular dynamics, linguistics, genomics, weather prediction, and many other
fields.
In this chapter, we consider several classical
sorting methods and an efficient implementation of a fundamental data type
known as the priority queue. We discuss the theoretical basis for comparing
sorting algorithms and conclude the chapter with a survey of applications of
sorting and priority-queue algorithms.
