The topics of searching (finding certain values in a collection of values) and sorting (putting values into an order) are not new to us. As we have examined various scientific and engineering computing use cases, we have encountered both topics. For searching, we have seen the use of if statements, boolean expressions, etc. For sorting, we have seen the use of the sorted function.
