Linear Search Algorithm
I have published code that shows examples of the Linear Search Algorithm. The linear search algorithm iterates through each item in our data structure in search for a specific value. If the current item matches, we can return, else we … Continue reading
Examples of the Binary Search Algorithm
I have published code that shows examples of the Binary Search Algorithm. In order for this algorithm to be applicable, we need to assume that we’re dealing with a sorted list to start. As a result, instead of proceeding iteratively … Continue reading
