To write a program to perform linear search and binary search using python programming.
- Hardware – PCs
- Anaconda – Python 3.7 Installation / Moodle-Code Runner
- Start from the leftmost element of array[] and compare k with each element of array[] one by one.
- If k matches with an element in array[] , return the index.
- If k doesn’t match with any of elements in array[], return -1 or element not found.
- Set two pointers low and high at the lowest and the highest positions respectively.
- Find the middle element mid of the array ie. arr[(low + high)/2]
- If x == mid, then return mid.Else, compare the element to be searched with m.
- If x > mid, compare x with the middle element of the elements on the right side of mid. This is done by setting low to low = mid + 1.
- Else, compare x with the middle element of the elements on the left side of mid. This is done by setting high to high = mid - 1.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 until low meets high
