Searching and sorting are two elementary topics of computer science in the field of algorithms and data structures. Python provides efficient implementations for both of them and thus takes a lot of work off your shoulders. However, understanding the underlying algorithms helps in choosing the most suitable variant for a particular use case. I only skim over the topic of searching here since it is built in and does not offer a lot of variations, except for binary search, which is covered in section 9.1.1.
In this chapter, you ...
