Sorting Algorithm

Sorting Algorithms

A sorting algorithm is a set of steps that arranges a list of items into a specific order (usually smallest to largest). Three classic algorithms are: • Bubble Sort — repeatedly compares neighbouring pairs and swaps them if they are in the wrong order. • Insertion Sort — builds a sorted list one item at a time by inserting each new item into its correct position. • Selection Sort — repeatedly finds the smallest remaining item and moves it to the front of the unsorted section.

Drag each description into the correct sorting algorithm.
