Search Algorithms in Python (A)

What is the purpose of a search algorithm in Python?

• Sorting elements in a list

• Locating a specific item in a collection

• Creating a new list from existing elements

• Performing mathematical calculations

Binary search requires a _________ list for optimal performance

What is an advantage of the binary search algorithm over linear search?

• It works on unsorted lists

• It take lower time

• It is easier to implement

• It requires less memory

Which of the following algorithms was not mentioned in the lectures?

• Binary Search

• Linear Search

• Fibonacci Search

• Jump Search

In _______ search algorithm, the list is divided into fixed-size blocks, and it loops over a fixed number of parts ahead before performing a linear search within that range.

What is the main advantage of the jump search algorithm?

• It is faster than binary search

• It works on unsorted lists

• It requires less memory

• It is easier to implement

Which search algorithm use this rule?

index = low + [(val-numbers[low])*(high-low) / (numbers[high]-numbers[low])]

• Linear Search
• Binary Search
• Depth First Search
• Interpolation Search

Jump binary search is the best search algorithm among all others, is that right? and why?
