Intermodal transport (or intermodal transportation) involves the use of more than one mode of transport for a journey. See: Intermodal passenger transport; Intermodal freight transport
Encryption algorithms At the heart of every encrypted application is the algorithm, the math that scrambles and unscrambles data. In a nutshell, an encryption algorithm is a function which takes a string of data bytes and returns a new dataset containing unintelligible content. The same algorithm is used to decrypt data, which means encrypted data goes in from one side and the original data comes out the other.
Sorting algorithm. In computer science a sorting algorithm is an algorithm that puts elements of a list in a certain order. The most-used orders are numerical order and lexicographical order. Efficient sorting is important for optimizing the use of other algorithms (such as search and merge algorithms) which require input data to be in sorted lists; it is also often useful for canonicalizing data and for producing human-readable output.
