Different types of data structures are suited to different kinds of applications, and some are highly specialized to specific tasks. For example, relational databases commonly use B-tree indexes for ...

Java implementations of Linear Search and Interpolation Search algorithms for an integer array. It prompts the user for input, searches for a specified key using both algorithms, and displays the ...

When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.

Each of the algorithms discussed in this section–Linear Search, Binary Search, Bubble Sort, Selection Sort, and Insertion Sort–exhibits a O(1) (constant) space complexity for variable storage.
