Question 7

Sorting Algorithm

Answer 7

A type of algorithm to used to sort a data set into a specific order

Question 8

Bubble Sort

Answer 8

A type of algorithm used to sort data into a specific order. The data set is passed through, and two pieces of data are looked at in turn. The process does not stop until a pass is completed without moving data
