What is the difference between a binary search and a sequential search?..

Answer / guest

Binary search is search all. sequential search is the
linear serach.

Example for Search all: File contains 100 records. supose
if u r searching for 75 th record, first entire file
divided into two parts, it will check , whether record is
in first half or second.. like that file ds divded into
diffrent parts

sequential serach: if the file contains 100 records, spose
if u r looking for 75th record, it will start serach from
first record...

What is the difference between a binary search and a sequential search?..

Answer / shyamendra

Binary search is attampt on file which is in sorted
order.Search All is the key word.Only one 'WHEN'
& 'AND'.Only '=' is used.
While Linear search can be attempt on any
file.Any logical operation is possible.Multiple 'WHEN' are
possible.Index is set to 1 before starting searching.When
table size is small then only we use this.
