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.
- The search process continues until the target value or search value is found.
- If the search element is not found, the search gets returned unsuccessfully.

Then it finds the second smallest element from the remaining elements in the array and places it in the second position of the array and so onarrow_forwardIllustrate how algorithms make ARRAY the appropriate choice for some specific applications.arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of using an unordered array as opposed to an ordered one?arrow_forward
- Given an 8-element array: A = {x1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, 7, x8}, we would like to find its 3rd smallest element. It is known that x₁ and 8 are the two extreme elements: max and min, but we do not know which one is the max and which one is the min. It is also known that x4 and x5 are the two medians: left-median and right-median. What is the minimum number of comparisons you need to find the 3rd smallest element of the original array? Ans:arrow_forwardThe binary search algorithm that follows may be used to search an array when the elements are in order. This algorithm is analogous to the following approach to finding a name in a telephone book. a. Open the book in the middle and look at the middle name on the page. b. b. If the middle name isn't the one, you're looking for, decide whether it comes before or after the name you want. c. Take the appropriate half of the section of the book you were looking in and repeat these steps until you land on the name. 1. Let the bottom be the subscript of the initial array element. 2. Let the top be the subscript of the last array element. 3. Let found be false. 4. Repeat as long as the bottom isn't greater than the top and the target has not been found. 5. Let middle be the subscript of the element halfway between bottom and top. 6. If the element in the middle is the target 7.

Now, push the left element toward the right in the array so long as it is greater than the element to its right. And push the right element toward the left in the array so long as it is less than the element to its left. The algorithm begins by processing the middle two elements of the array if the array is even.

What if the original array elements were sorted in reverse order? What if the original array elements were all identical?arrow_forwardIf pivot is repeated 4 times in an input array, the Lomuto's algorithm will put two of them in left region and rest of them in the right region. True Falsearrow_forwardGiven an integer array Arr of size N the task is to find the count of elements whose value is greater than all of its prior elements. Note : 1st element of the array should be considered in the count of the result. For example, Arr={7,4,8,2,9} As 7 is the first element, it will consider in the result. 8 and 9 are also the elements that are greater than all of its previous elements. Since total of 3 elements is present in the array that meets the condition. Hence the output = 3.arrow_forward
