What is the average number of comparisons needed in a
sequential search to determine the position of an element in
an array of 100 elements, if the elements are ordered from
largest to smallest?

Answer Posted / sherin

its asked sequential search
if it was binary then dividing array into 2 , then
comparing....100 - 50 - 25 - 12 - 6 - 3 - 1 -then the no.,
i think Dj thought it like that ..

Sequential search is not needed here because the numbers are
ordered , if it was not ordered then 'n' comparisons are
necessary.

question here is not worst case scenario , see its asked
average case ..that too with ordered numbers ...
