Given an unsorted array of integers and an element x, find if x is present in array using Front and Back search. Problem Analysis. I want to find out the split point between 0 and 1. Experience. By using our site, you brightness_4 Writing code in comment? Alternatively, if end of array is reached, failure status is returned. If the array is not sorted then you have to search for the element by iteration ,linear search . The Big-Oh notation of that algorithm is O(n). Copyright ©document.write(new Date().getFullYear()); All Rights Reserved, Import SelectionModel from '@angular/cdk/collections. The linear search algorithm always results in worst case complexity of O(n) when element to be searched is last element in the array. The best case complexity is O(1) when element is first or last element in the array. Searching through an unsorted array looks like a simple task - we just iterate through the array and return an element index as soon as the match is found. code.
