Program Plan Intro
Linear search:
- Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array one by one till the last element in the search element is found.
- The search uses a loop that iterates from the beginning till the last element to find the search element.
- The search continues for all the elements present in the array until the last element.
- The search of the target element is made after comparing it with each and every element that is present in the array.

Best Partition
You are given an array of positive numbers of size N and an integer K. You need to partition the array into K
continuous segments. For each segment, the sum of its elements needs to be calculated.
The segment with the minimum sum is called the bestSegment and the sum of the elements of the
bestSegment is called the bestSum.
For all possible combinations of partitions of the array when divided into K segments, their bestSum needs to be
calculated and the one among them with maximum value needs to be returned.
Input Specification:
input1: an array of N positive numbers
input2: an integer N denoting the length of the array
input3: an integer K
Output Specification:
Return an integer denoting the maximum value of all possible bestSum.
Example 1:
input1: (1,2,3,4}
input2: 4
input3: 2
Output: 4
Explanation:
You can partition the given array into 2 continuous segments in the following manner-
• 123 14- the sum of individual segments is (6,4) and the bestSum is 4
• 12134- the…

Description: The linear search compares each element of the array with the search key until the search key is found. To determine that a value is not in the array, the program must compare the search key to every element in the array 'A'. It is also called "Sequential Search" because it traverses the data sequentially to locate the element. Algorithm: (Linear Search) LINEAR SEARCH (A, N, SKEY) Here A is a Linear Array with N elements and SKEY is a given item of information to search. This algorithm finds the location of SKEY in A and if successful, it returns its location otherwise it returns -1 for unsuccessful. 1.
