The sorting is a type of algorithm which arranges the value in particular order.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Sorting:

When contents of the array being arranged in the particular order is called as sorting. The order of arranging the contents can be ascending or descending order.

Types of sorting:

  • Bubble sort
  • Selection sort
  • Insertion sort
  • Merge sort
  • Quick sort
  • Shell sort
  • Heap sort

These sort have the possibility of sorting the array in both ascending and descending order.

Ascending order:

When the elements present in the array are sorted from the lowest to highest is called as ascending order.

Example:

Consider the elements of array that are present in the ascending order below:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10… 20

Descending order:

When the elements present in the array are sorted from the highest to lowest is called as descending order.

Example:

Consider the elements of array that are present in the descending order below:

55, 45, 40, 35, 30 … 10

Explanation for incorrect options:

Search Algorithm:

The “searching” algorithm the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Ordering Algorithm:

The term “ordering algorithm” is not an valid algorithm.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Selection Algorithm:

The term “selection algorithm” finds the kth smallest number in a list or array.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

Unit 1 Assignment 1 – Loops and Methods (25 points) Task: You are working for Kean University and given the task of building an Email Registration System. Your objective is to generate a Kean email ID and temporary password for every new user. The system will prompt for user information and generate corresponding credentials. You will develop a complete Java program that consists of the following modules: Instructions: 1. Main Method: ○ The main method should include a loop (of your choice) that asks for input from five users. For each user, you will prompt for their first name and last name and generate the email and password by calling two separate methods. Example о Enter your first name: Joe Enter your last name: Rowling 2.generateEmail() Method: This method will take the user's first and last name as parameters and return the corresponding Kean University email address. The format of the email is: • First letter of the first name (lowercase) + Full last name (lowercase) +…
