बाइनरी सर्च और सीक्वेंशियल या लीनियर सर्च दोनों का उपयोग कंप्यूटर प्रोग्रामिंग में किसी तत्व को खोजने के लिए किया जाता है। द्विआधारी खोज की समय जटिलता O(log(n)) है और अनुक्रमिक खोज O(n) है।
एल्गोरिदम
Begin Algorithm for Binary Search: BinarySearch() function with ‘arr’ the array of data and ‘n’ the number of values, start and end index, iteration count and element to be searched in the argument list. Increment iteration counter and compare the item value with the a[mid]. If item < a[mid] choose first half otherwise second half to proceed further. Return iteration value on successful search. End

आउटपुट
Enter the element to be searched: 7 Binary Search : iteration 1 iteration 2 iteration 3 iteration 4 item found at 1 index. Linear Search : iteration 1 iteration 2 item found at 1 index. Linear search is better for this search. Enter the element to be searched: 53 Binary Search : iteration 1 item found at 9 index. Linear Search : iteration 1 iteration 2 iteration 3 iteration 4 iteration 5 iteration 6 iteration 7 iteration 8 iteration 9 iteration 10 item found at 9 index. Binary search is better for this search. Enter the element to be searched: 1 Binary Search : iteration 1 Not found Linear Search : iteration 1 iteration 2 iteration 3 iteration 4 iteration 5 iteration 6 iteration 7 iteration 8 iteration 9 iteration 10 Not found Binary search is better for this search.
