Computer Algorithms: Sequential Search
Overview This is the easiest to implement and the most frequently used search algorithm in practice. Unfortunately the sequential search is also the most ineffective searching algorithm. However, it is...
View ArticleComputer Algorithms: Linear Search in Sorted Lists
Overview The expression “linear search in sorted lists” itself sounds strange. Why should we use this algorithm for sorted lists when there are lots of other algorithms that are far more effective? As...
