1.   Compare and contrast the linear search and binary search algorithms by searching for the numbers 123 and 54 in the following list:

43   123   185   343   455   834   941   1310

2.  Using the list from Exercise 16, construct a table showing the number of comparisons required to sort that list for each of the sort algoirthms (selection sort, insertion sort, quick sort, and merge sort).
