Linear search(recursive) algorithm used in

When the size of the dataset is large

When the size of the dataset is low

When the size of the dataset is high

When the dataset is unordered

The array is as follows: 1,2,3,6,8,10. Given that the number 17 is to be searched. At which call it tells that there’s no such element? (By using linear search(recursive) algorithm)

17th call

9th call

7th call

The function calls itself infinite number of times

Is there any difference in the speed of execution between linear serach(recursive) vs linear search(lterative)?

Both execute at same speed

Linear search(Iterative) is faster

Cant be said

Linear search(Recursive) is faster

If n is the length of text(T) and m is the length of the pattern(P) identify the correct pre-processing algorithm. (where q is a suitable modulus to reduce the complexity) p=0; t0=0;

"for i=1 to m do p=(dp + P[i])mod q t0=(dt0+T[i])mod q"

"for i=1 to m do t0=(dp + P[i])mod q p=(dt0+T[i])mod q "

"for i=1 to n do t0=(dt0 + P[i])mod q p=(dp+T[i])mod q"

"for i=1 to n do p=(dp + P[i])mod q t0=(dt0+T[i])mod q"

Where is linear searching used?

When the list has only a few elements

When performing a single search in an unordered list

When the list has only a few elements and When performing a single search in an unordered list

Used all the time

What is an advantage of the Linear search algorithm?

Performs well with small sized data sets

Is complicated to code

Can be used on data sets with more than a million elements

Is not complicated to code

What would be needed if searching algorithms didn't exist?

The data would need to be saved

Each item of data would need to be looked at one by one, until the searched for data was found

A new set of data to look at would be needed

None
