SORTING DATA

                 It is easier to find data when they are arranged. Arranging data in a specific order is
                 known as sorting.

                 Let's count similar objects and write in the table given below:
















                                Name of the Item                                 Number of the Item

                   1.  Shuttle Cock                                                         7

                   2.  Football                                                             5

                   3.  Chair                                                                4

                   4.  Table                                                                3

                   5.  Hockey Stick                                                         5

                 Now, let's sort the number of items in the above table in descending order. You will get the

                 following data:

                                Name of the Item                                 Number of the Item

                   1.  Shuttle Cock                                                         7

                   2.  Football                                                             5

                   3.  Hockey Stick                                                         5

                   4.  Chair                                                                4

                   5.  Table                                                                3




                           DECODING

                 Data can also be represented in the form of a hidden/secret message, called as coded

                 data. The hidden message can be in the form of a symbol, number, picture, letter, or
                 a pattern. The process of converting a hidden message to a meaningful text is called
                 decoding. Look at the code below used to solve the sums.
