Introduction to Sorting Algorithm

Introduction to Searching Algorithm:

Searching Algorithms are designed to check for an element or retrieve an element from any data structure where it is stored. Searching algorithms are methods or procedures that are used to locate a specific item or element within a set of data. These algorithms are widely used in computer science and are essential for tasks such as searching for a specific record in a database, locating an element in a sorted list, and locating a file on a computer....
