Algorithm And Flowchart For Linear Search
Write an algorithm and draw a corresponding flowchart to search a number in the given list of numbers and also display its position.
Algorithm and flowchart for linear search. An algorithm is expressed in pseudo code something resembling c language or pascal but with some statements in. 1 set found to false 2 set position to 1 3 set index to 0 while found is false and index number of elements if list index is equal to search value found true position index end if add 1 to index end while return position 1. Algorithms and flowcharts. Linear search linear search is a very basic and simple search algorithm.
In linear search we search an element or value in a given array by traversing the array from the starting till the desired element or value is found. If a i x then go to step 6 step 4. Linear search in data structures using flowchart diagram and algorithms. Linear search alogritham here an algorithm of a function that performs the linear search.
If i n then go to step 7 step 3. The write up consists of algorithm flow chart program and screenshots of the sample outputs. Print element x found at index i and go to step 8 step 7. A linear search of a list begins at the beginning of the list and continues until the item element number is found or the entire list has been searched.
About working of linear search algorithm and flowchart. Linear search lab write up with algorithm and flowchart here is the lab write up for a c program to search a list linear search. Set i to i 1 step 5. Lectures by walter lewin.
