what is the difference b/w linear search and binary search?
(how can these search)
Answer Posted / amit kumar thakur
liner search -data is a linear array with (n)and item is
given this variable algorith find the location (loc)of item
in data. (linear search is used when the address is find)
(Aigorith)
step .1 [insert item at the end of data ]
set data [n+1]:=item
step. 2 set loc:=1
step.3 [search for item]
repeat while data [loc] is not equal to item
set loc :=loc+1
[end of loop]
step.4 if loc =n+1, then
set loc:=0
[end if]
step.5 EXIT.
Binary search
suppose data is an array which is store in increasing
numerical order .then there is a extremly effficient
searching called binary search .
which can be used to find the loc of a given item of
information in data.
e.g.
suppose one want to find the location of some name in a
telephone directory(or some word in a dictionry) then we
use the binary search not the linear search.
ALGORITH OF BINARY SEARCH.
STEP.1 SET BEG= LB, END=UB AND MID= INT.
STEP.2 BEG<=END AND DATA [MID]!ITEM
STEP.3 IF ITEM< DATA[MID], THEN:
set end:=mid-1
step.4 set mid=int[(beg+end)/2]
[end if]
step.5 EXIT.
