Sorting data - is placing data with a common theme together. For example - say you had a list of 20 names & addresses... You could sort them by the town the people live in. Those within the same town would be listed together.
A computer processes data by sorting, merging and making calculations to add more meaning to it. This is done by the computer's CPU.
Databse sorting means arranging the records in a specific way to make reported data more usable.
we use sem and leaf plot in data sorting when there are lare amounts of numbers to anyalyze.
Processing of data mostly includes sorting algorithms.
data can be sorted according to two different fields
convertion of data to information is, e.g when we give a question to a computer like sorting that sort out the following names, ali , ahmad, tahir, suzan, mary.that is data which is in raw form, the answer the computer will give us will be our information. by fatima
The statement that there should be no rows or columns in the data when designing for sorting is misleading. In structured data, rows typically represent individual records, while columns represent attributes or fields of those records. For effective sorting, data should be organized in a tabular format, allowing algorithms to efficiently access and rearrange the data based on specified criteria. Thus, having well-defined rows and columns is essential for effective sorting operations.
Internal SortingExternal sortingIn internal sorting all the data to sort is stored in memory at all times while sorting is in progress.In external sorting data is stored outside memory (like on disk) and only loaded into memory in small chunks.The internal sorting methods are applied to small collection of data. The External sorting methods are applied only when the number of data elements to be sorted is too large. internal sorting takes input only which can be fit into its memory...i.e. it takes small inputexternal sorting can take as much as large input…Internal sort is more flexible as we can alter or update data before and after performing internal sort whereas the same doesn't hold true for external sort.internal sorting is independent of time to read/write a recordexternal ids dependent on the same
Internal sorting refers to the process of sorting data that is entirely loaded into a computer's main memory (RAM). An example of internal sorting is using algorithms like QuickSort or MergeSort to arrange an array of integers stored in memory. Since all the data fits in RAM, these algorithms can operate efficiently without needing to access slower external storage. This is in contrast to external sorting, which involves sorting data that does not fit into memory and requires the use of disk-based storage.
The manipulation of data into information by computers is called data processing. Processing involves organizing, sorting and making calculations from raw facts and figures to give them more meaning.
The computer can do it extremely fast.
