Sorting algorithms are processes to follow for sorting lists of data. They are commonly used as an introduction to algorithms for students of computer science.
There are many different strategies that can be used to sort data. These include sorting by insertion, by exchanging, by selection, by merging, and by distribution.[1]
Here are some popular sorting algorithms:
