Search Algorithms in Python (C)

What is the main requirement for binary search to work efficiently?

• Unsorted array

• Sorted array

• Array with duplicate elements

• Array with negative elements

In interpolation search algorithm, whenever the value of the calculated index is higher, this is likely means:

• the item might not be found.

• the item is nearer to the beginning of the list.

• the item is nearer to the end of the list.

• the item is duplicated in the list.

to improve jump search, we can:

• replace the linear search part with better algorithm.

• make the jump size smaller

• sort the dataset.

• remove duplicated value from list.

Which search algorithm does not rely on the division operator and is better for large number of elements?

• Binary Search

• Jump Search

• Fibonacci Search

• Linear Search

__________ search algorithm works better for the uniformly distributed dataset.

Which search algorithm uses only 2 nodes always in its search mechanism?

• Jump search

• Exponential Search

• Binary Search

• No such algorithm.

__________ search algorithm uses binary search algorithm in its mechanism.

is Interpolation search algorithm considered to be the best one among the others? why?
