Searching Algorithms

Searching Algorithms

1. Linear searching

   • A linearsearch strts at one end of data collection, Working its way to the other, Examining each data item in the collection order
   • Advantages
     • The only option for searching unsortes data.
   • Disadvantages
     • Would take a long time to search large data structure

2. Binary search

   • A linear search becomes more time-consuming as the data structre comes larger.It is a much quicker algorithm wich only works if Data is sorted.
   • Advantages
     • Far faster and more efficent than a linear search
   • Disadvantages
     • Requires data to be sorted, If the data is not sorted the Binary would not work.
