The conversation between human and AI assistant.
What's the best book to study algorithms?
What's the difference between a sorting algorithm and a searching algorithm?
Great question! A sorting algorithm is used to arrange elements in a certain order, like numerical or alphabetical order, while a searching algorithm is used to find a specific element within a dataset. Both types of algorithms are crucial in computer science and can be studied in-depth in the "Introduction to Algorithms" book I mentioned earlier.
