                                 Your Aim

                                 to learn about:

                                            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 exam.              John                              87

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

                      SORTING DATA

                  Finding data becomes easier when it is arranged in a systematic order. The process
                  of organising data in a specific sequence is called sorting.

                  Let's see an example of data sorting.
