Data Structure & Algorithm: Here is an array with exactly 15 elements:1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15Suppose that we are doing a serial search for an element. Circle any elements that will be found by examining two or fewer numbers from the array.
Python Write a Python program that performs a linear (sequential) search. Define an array of 10 non-sequential numbers. Ask the user for a number, such as "Enter a number to be found:" Search the array for the user's number. If present, display "Successful search, the element is found at position " and its position. Otherwise, display "Number not found."
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using an unordered array as opposed to an ordered one?
