- 6Linear searchIt is a method for finding a target value within a list. It sequentially checks each element of the list for the target value until a match is found or until all the elements have been searched.
- 7Binary searchIt is for searching a large number of elements when the values in the are less likely to change.
- 8Merge sortMerge sort first divides the array into equal halves and then combines them in a sorted manner.
- 9Bubble sortIt compares each pair of adjacent items and swaps them if they are in the wrong order.
