Data Structures and Algorithms - Episode 1: Sorting Algorithms (Bubble Sort)

When starting to learn to program, whatever the language may be, the first and foremost concern should be thorough understanding of the concept of an 'Algorithm'. We know that computer is a machine which operates on a sequence of instructions fed to it by the human in order to function and/or solve a particular problem. This sequence of instructions formally is known as an algorithm. An algorithm in plain English say is understandable to a human while when written in a programming language it is understandable by the computer. Sorting is one of the basic problems when we are dealing with a sequence of items (say numbers). In this article, the known Sorting methods would be discussed and demonstrated starting with "Bubble Sort".
