Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 13, Problem 1TF
Program Description Answer
In linear search, it requires a number of steps proportional to the size of the list being searched.
Hence, the given statement is “True”.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Linear Search:
- The Linear search also known as sequential search is a method to find an element in the given list.
- The linear search matches with all the elements in the list until it finds the target element.
- It checks sequentially to find an element of the list. It continues searching sequentially until a match is found in the list of elements. The search terminates when it reaches at the end of the list.
- A linear search goes at a worst linear time when it needs to compare n times where the number of elements is n.
- A linear search has an average case of “n/2” comparisons, if each element is equally likely to be searched.
