Answer / guest
Binary search is search all. sequential search is the
linear serach.
Example for Search all: File contains 100 records. supose
if u r searching for 75 th record, first entire file
divided into two parts, it will check , whether record is
in first half or second.. like that file ds divded into
diffrent parts
sequential serach: if the file contains 100 records, spose
if u r looking for 75th record, it will start serach from
first record...

Answer / shyamendra
Binary search is attampt on file which is in sorted
order.Search All is the key word.Only one 'WHEN'
& 'AND'.Only '=' is used.
While Linear search can be attempt on any
file.Any logical operation is possible.Multiple 'WHEN' are
possible.Index is set to 1 before starting searching.When
table size is small then only we use this.

Answer / boxee
binary search is fast because
it check the element mid
is element is less
it set the beg
mid=(beg+end)/2;
if(value>a[mid])
{
beg=mid+1;
}
else
{
end=mid-1;
}

Answer / muthu
binary search runs in O(logn) time whereas linear search
runs in O(n) times thus binary search has better
performance.

HI !!!!

It is to be noted that in binary search MID=(start+end)/2
is to be found
but in linear search there is no such condition

Answer / anupam
binary search is performed by calculating mid point whereas sequential search is performed by sorting all elements.prior is the faster.

Answer / pratik gondaliya
with binary serch we can not get output faster because it is difficult to sort the character element.
with linear serch we can get output fastest.
example-: hello my name is pratik

what is jcl approach for programming?
If we put three reads in COBOL in the same para one after the other, to read a PS file,will it read the same record thrice or it will read three records sequentially? For example : Input File 01 02 03 Para 900 Read infile Display Infile rec Read infile Display infile rec Read infile Display infile rec. What will be the output?
How many times the loop runs here 01 a pic 9(2) value 1. perform para1 until a=10 move 1 to a. stop run. para1: move 10 to a.
How to resolve the soc4 & soc7 other than following answers. Soc4 can resolved using mispleed dd name and dd name is not matching with file and soc7 check the sysdump and copy the offest address then correct it in the program.
