Linear Search

The lecture introduces the concept of search algorithms, focusing on linear search. It explains the need for search in data retrieval, using a bookshelf analogy. The linear search algorithm is detailed, including its implementation and time complexity analysis. The lecture concludes with a brief mention of binary search as the next topic.
