                                         Data and Information              Sorting Data
                                           Representing Information          Decoding


                 In the previous class, we have learnt how to apply the concepts through visualization.
                 In this class, we are going to learn how to interpret and process the data.

                     DATA AND INFORMATION


                 Data refers to the raw input. When this data is processed, the outcome received is
                 known as information.
                 Look at the given table of students                   Name                  Marks obtained
                 with their marks obtained in the                       John                         87

                 exam.                                                 Manya                         67
                 This tabular  format represents
                                                                        Kiran                        58
                 the data  which gives us the
                 information in a neat and clean manner. It becomes easier to read the data when
                 it is presented in such a format.

                     SORTING DATA

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

                 Let's see an example of data sorting.
