The correct answer is option 4: Sorting algorithm

Key Points

  • A Sorting Algorithm is used to arrange data in a particular order (either ascending or descending).
  • Common sorting algorithms include Bubble Sort, Merge Sort, Quick Sort, Insertion Sort, etc.
  • Sorting helps in optimizing the performance of other algorithms like searching and merging.

Additional Information

  • Searching algorithm: Used to find specific elements in data (e.g., linear search, binary search).
  • Merging algorithm: Combines two or more sorted lists into one sorted list.
  • Inverting algorithm: Not commonly used for sorting or ordering data; it's more related to reversing data or operations.

Hence, the correct answer is: option 4: Sorting algorithm
