stelelor@lemmy.ca 11 months agoI am very new to the world of CS but I appreciate precise vocabulary. Is my understanding below correct?
-
Sorting = Assigning each object to one category (“bin”).
-
Ordering = Like sorting, but the categories themselves have an inherent hierarchy/order (numerical, alphabetical, etc.)
