Notes

Bubble Sort:

Bubble sort is like a game where we compare and swap pairs of adjacent numbers to make the biggest number "bubble up" to the top.
It's not very fast, so we usually use it for small lists or just for learning.
Insertion Sort:

Insertion sort is like sorting a deck of cards. You take one card at a time and insert it into the right place in the sorted pile.
It's good for small lists or when a list is almost sorted.
Merge Sort:

Merge sort is like sorting a big pile of papers. You divide the pile into smaller ones, sort each pile, and then merge them back together.
It works well for big lists and is often used in computer programs.
Selection Sort:

Selection sort is like finding the smallest item in your room and putting it in the "sorted" box. Then, you find the next smallest and add it to the box.
It's not super fast, so we use it mostly for learning about sorting.
Quick Sort:

Quick sort is like sorting toys. You pick one toy (a "pivot") and put smaller toys on one side and bigger toys on the other. You repeat this until all toys are sorted.
It's quite fast for most lists, but you have to be careful to choose a good pivot.
