Standard Algorithms: Linear Search (Position)
Welcome to our next episode on Standard Algorithms! Today, we're building on our previous discussion of the linear search. We'll be covering Period 14, and our goal is to help you implement a linear search to find the position of an item in an array. This is a crucial step, especially when you need to retrieve related data from parallel arrays. đ
Why Finding Position Matters
We'll start by explaining why finding the position (or index) of an item is so important. When you're working with parallel arrays, the position of an item in one array corresponds to the position of its related data in another array. For example, if you find a student's name at index 5 in one array, you kno ...Â
