• Sorting & Searching: Quick Sort, Merge Sort, Binary Search for organizing and retrieving data
efficiently.
• Data Structures: Algorithms manage arrays, trees, and graphs for fast data access.
• Example: Searching for a contact in your phonebook uses searching algorithms.

2. Internet & Web Technologies

• Search Engines: PageRank algorithm ranks websites based on relevance.


• Recommendation Systems: Suggest videos, products, or articles (Netflix, YouTube, Amazon).
• Example: YouTube recommends videos based on viewing history.

3. Navigation & Transportation

• Route Optimization: Dijkstra and A* algorithms find shortest paths.


• Ride-sharing & Delivery: Optimize travel routes for Uber, Pathao, or delivery apps.
• Example: Google Maps calculates fastest routes in real-time traffic.
