Chapter Overview
This chapter introduces the concept of sorting, which is the process of arranging data in a specific order (ascending or descending). Sorting is essential for efficient searching and data organization. The chapter focuses on three popular sorting algorithms—Bubble Sort, Insertion Sort, and Selection Sort—implemented in Python, along with their working principles and comparisons.
