Program Plan Intro

Linear search:

• Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array one by one till the last element in the search element is found.
• The search uses a loop that iterates from the beginning till the last element to find the search element.
• The search continues for all the elements present in the array until the last element.
• The search of the target element is made after comparing it with each and every element that is present in the array.
• The search process continues until the target value or search value is found.
• If the search element is not found, the search gets returned unsuccessfully.
