Binary search looks more efficient than linear search when the array is sorted. The efficiency (time complexity) of an algorithm can be measured by the running time as a function of the input data size. Such functions are called growth …
Searching is to find a target in a collection of elements, or determine the target does not exist. Here we consider data in arrays stored in the memory; while in real problems data may be stored in disk files, databases, …
