Question

Considering the search problem, we have a list of ?n integers ?=⟨?1,?2,⋯??⟩A=⟨v1,v2,⋯vn⟩. We want to design an algorithm to check whether an item ?v exists or not such that it should return either the index, ?i, if it was found or −1−1 otherwise, when not found.

Problem Statement
Considering the search problem, we have a list of n integers A = (0), 02, ... v,). We want to design an algorithm to check whether an item v exists or not
such that it should return either the index, i, if it was found or -1 otherwise, when not found.
a) Algorithm Implementation
b) Growth Curve
Empirically, using time measurements, test your algorithm and plot a graph that shows its growth rate when variating the size.
c) Theoretical Analysis
Derive the complexity of the worst-case time, and show your reasoning
