Is it true In a sequential search each element is compared to the searchValue and the search stops when the value is found or the end of the array is encountered?
Venkatpatnala
As I know the search method depends on your(programmer's) logic. In sequential search it will be better to stop the search as soon as search value encounters or if search value is not in the array then it should stop at the end.

Write an algorithm to search an element in linked list?
To search for an element in a linked list, you iterate the list, looking for the element, and either return the element or an indication that it was not found. for (ptr = first; ptr != null; ptr = ptr.next) if (ptr.value == searchvalue) break; This will either leave ptr with the address of the found element, or null, if not found.
What algorithm uses a loop to step through each element of an array starting with the first element searching for a value?
What you're describing is called a sequential search or linear search.
What is kirchhoff's loop theorem?
a closed path in a circuit in which no circuit element or node is encountered more than once.
What is a random access file in QBasic?
Random access simply means the ability to read and write anywhere in the file, as opposed to sequential access where data is simply appended to the end of the file and is accessed by traversing from the start of the file in sequential order. Random access is ideally suited to data arrays where every element in the file is exactly the same length, allowing constant-time traversal from one element to any other, in both directions. If the data is also sorted, random access also allows binary search to improve search efficiency.
Explain the major difference between combinatorial logic and sequential logic?
It was mentioned that there are two different ways to connect two or more electrical devices together in a circuit. They can be connected by means of series connections or by means of parallel connections. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by series connections, then the circuit is referred to as a series circuit. When all the devices in a circuit are connected by parallel connections, then the circuit is referred to as a parallel circuit. A third type of circuit involves the dual use of series and parallel connections in a circuit; such circuits are referred to as compound circuits or combination circuits. The circuit depicted at the right is an example of the use of both series and parallel connections within the same circuit. In this case, light bulbs A and B are connected by parallel connections and light bulbs C and D are connected by series connections. This is an example of a combination circuitBy EngineerMuhammad Zaheer Meer GMS

What metallic element can be encountered fairly often in its pure form?
Copper!!
Is oxygen an element compound or mixture?
its an element. It is usually encountered as O2. There are other allotropic forms the best known is O3 ozone.
What is the name of a atomic number of 49 and a mass number of 115?
That element is Indium (In) and it's not a commonly encountered element in chemistry.

What you're describing is called a sequential search or linear search.
Atom of same element that differs in numbers of neutrons compared to other atoms of the element?
Isotope
Atom of an element that differs in the number of nuetrons compared with other atoms of the same element?
Is called an Isotope.
What is the difference between a combinational and a sequential circuit?
In a combinational logic circuit, the output(s) depend only on the present values on the input, not on any previous values. In a sequential circuit, the output(s) also depend on the previous values. A sequential circuit must contain a memory element (at least one flip-flop) to hold the state of the circuit.
What is kirchhoff's loop theorem?
a closed path in a circuit in which no circuit element or node is encountered more than once.
What is an Atom of an element that differs in number of neutrons compared with other atoms of same element?
This atom is called isotope.
Is hydrogen light or heavy compared to the other elements?
It is the lightest element.
What is the average number of comparisons in a sequential search?
If this is a homework related question, you really should consider trying to solve it yourself before looking at this answer. Otherwise, the value of the lesson, and the reinforcement provided by the assignment, will be lost to you. In a sequential search, where the elements are in a uniformly random distribution, the average number of comparisions to find a particular element is one half of the number of elements. Stated another way... In a sequential search, where the elements are in an arbitrary distribution, the average number of comparisions to find a random element is one half of the number of elements.
