    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.

                                                                                                      Data Processing  101
