The element being searched for is not found in an array of
100 elements. What is the average number of comparisons
needed in a sequential search to determine that the element
is not there, if the elements are completely unordered?
Answer Posted / poonam
IN sequential search (average case =[1/2(best case)+(wrost case)])...its the formula to calculate the average case of sequential search ...
so best case is when we found the element in first comparison.
worst case is when we found element in 100 comparison.
average case is =1/2(1+100)
ans would be 50.5
