Imagine you have a bunch of toys scattered around your room. Sorting and searching with arrays, in an unplugged activity, is like organizing those toys into a neat line and then quickly finding your favorite one. An array is just a list, and sorting means putting things in order (like from smallest to largest). Searching is finding a specific item in that list. These activities help you understand how computers manage information efficiently without using any digital devices. We’ll explore these concepts using everyday objects and simple instructions, making it fun and easy to grasp!
Match the term with its correct definition:
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Array | A. Rearranging items in a specific order. |
| Sorting | B. Finding the location of a specific item. |
| Searching | C. An error in code or logic. |
| Bug | D. A collection of items stored in a contiguous memory location. |
| Algorithm | E. A step-by-step procedure for solving a problem. |
(Match: Array-D, Sorting-A, Searching-B, Bug-C, Algorithm-E)
