Part 6/8:
Next, we consider sorting algorithms, where data organization is key. A popular method, bubble sort, focuses on adjacent elements and repeatedly swaps them until in order. While intuitive, it’s not the most efficient when handling larger datasets. More advanced sorting techniques, like merge sort, leverage the divide-and-conquer principle by dividing the dataset into sub-groups, sorting them individually, and then merging them to form a complete sorted list.
