Basic Algorithms
Algorithms are step-by-step procedures or sets of rules for solving specific
problems or performing specific tasks. They are the building blocks of
computer programs and are essential for solving a wide range of problems
efficiently. Here are some basic algorithms and algorithmic concepts:
1. Searching Algorithms
Searching algorithms are used to find the presence or location of a specific
element in a data structure, such as an array or list.
a. Linear Search
- Linear search is a simple algorithm that checks each element in a collection
one by one until a match is found or the end of the collection is reached.
- It is suitable for unordered lists.
b. Binary Search
- Binary search is a more efficient algorithm for searching in sorted collections.
- It repeatedly divides the search range in half until the target element is found
or the search range becomes empty.
