Chapter 16.2, Problem 16.6CP
Program Plan Intro
Sequential search:
- The sequential search
algorithm is the process to find an item in an array. - It compares each value and searching starts at the beginning of the array.
- In the searching process, the algorithm compares each item in an array and finds an item.

If a binary search algorithm is applied to a sorted array of 1000 elements, how many comparisons will be needed in the worst case scenario to find an element?
Run mergesort for huge random arrays and determine empirically, as a function of N (the total of the two subarray sizes for a given merge), the average length of the other subarray when the first subarray exhausts.
Suppose you wanted to use a linear search on a sorted data set. What would be the average number of comparisons to find a given element? Why?
