A simple Binary Search Algorithm is as follows:

Calculate the mid element of the collection.

Compare the key items with the mid element.

If key = middle element, then we return the mid index position for the key found.

Else If key > mid element, then the key lies in the right half of the collection. Thus repeat steps 1 to 3 on the lower (right) half of the collection.

Else key < mid element, then the key is in the upper half of the collection. Hence you need to repeat the binary search in the upper half.

Best first search program in c?

The best search programs to attempt writing in C are the following: Linear search (simplest), Binary search (faster) Hash search (fastest).


What are the various applications of linear search in real time?

Linear search is necessary when we must search unordered sets. Linear search times across huge sets can be improved significantly by dividing the set amongst two or more threads that can execute on independent CPU cores.


What is the simplest search technique to use to find an item in an array?

Linear search


What are advantages and disadvantages of linear search?

1)in linear search it needs more space and time complexity. 2) in linear search if the key element is the last element and the search is from first element that is a worst case, or if the key element is the first element and the search is from last element then also is the worst case.


Why linear search is called sequential search?

A linear search is called a sequential search because a sequential search takes linear time and therefore has a worst-case time-complexity of O(n) for a data sequence of n elements. Although there are more efficient search algorithms than linear search, not all data containers are ideally suited to them. For example, although a binary search can be performed in quadratic time (O(log n)) when the data container is in sorted order, we can only achieve maximum efficiency when the data container also supports constant-time random-access. Arrays and vectors do support constant-time random-access, but if the container is not sorted then we must resort to the less-efficient linear search. Linked lists do not support constant-time random-access thus a linear search would be more efficient even if the list were in sorted order.
