Algorithms are important tools we use every day in technology. They help us organize and process information quickly. Let's look at some key examples:

Sorting Algorithms:

• Bubble Sort: This one checks each item and compares it to the next. It can take a long time when there are many items, sometimes taking many steps to get it right.
• Selection Sort: This method also checks items in a similar way but is a bit faster when it comes to moving things around.

Searching Algorithms:

• Linear Search: This method goes through each item one by one until it finds what it's looking for. It can take a long time if there are many items to check.
• Binary Search: For this method to work, the items have to be arranged in order first. Then, it can quickly find the item by dividing the list in half over and over. This makes it much faster, especially with large lists.

Knowing about these algorithms helps people manage data better and makes computer programs run smoother.
