Linear Search Explained

Linear Search is a simple algorithm that sequentially checks each element in an array until it finds the target value or exhausts the list. It’s straightforward but less efficient for large datasets.

Algorithm Characteristics

  • Time Complexity:O(n)
  • Space Complexity:O(1)
  • Prerequisite:None (works on unsorted data)
  • Best Use:Small or unsorted datasets

Key Properties

  • Simple implementation

  • No need of requirements

  • Efficient where the size of data isn’t a concern

  • Used only if there are not more options

Best Used only on a small or limited set of data.
