Can I sort faster if I convert strings to numbers?
Sure, I have a large dataset of strings that represents numerical values, and I want to sort them in ascending order. Would converting them to numbers be helpful?
Yes, converting strings to numbers can help with sorting a large dataset of numerical values as most sorting algorithms work faster on numerical data than string data. However, you would need to ensure that the conversion is done properly and that the resulting numerical values are valid and consistent.
