Explain in detail about sorting and different types of sorting techniques sorting is a technique to rearrange the elements of a list in ascending or descending order, which can be numerical, lexicographical, or any userdefined order.
We shall discuss six di erent sorting algorithms and we begin our discussion with bubble sort. When an input is sorted, many problems become easy e.
