Algorithms to Sort a List
In programming, you don't have an algrin for everything. But when you do have an algorithm, it's handy to be able to use it o important algorithms include sorting algorithms. An example of a widely used algorithm is quick sogt. This is assorting algorithm able to sort the elements in a list. A recersive agarithm is one that calls itself. And theyare potentially hard to understand if you haven't encountered the concept before,. but they're very useful. So i'm going to give you a sense of how this all works in practice and then go through a simple high level program with some examples.
