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.

Students have asked these similar questions
If a linear search is performed on an array, and it is known that some items are searched for more frequently than others, how can the contents of the array be reordered to improve the average performance of the search?
The element being searched for is not in an array of 100 elements. What is the maximum number of comparisons needed in a sequential search to determine that the element is not there if the elements are completely unsorted?
Use loops to create a matrix in which the value of each element is two times its rownumber minus three times its column number. For example, the value of element (2,5) 2*2 - 3*5 = -11 BY USING MATLAT
