To write a program to perform linear search and binary search using python programming.
- Hardware – PCs
- Anaconda – Python 3.7 Installation / Moodle-Code Runner
- Start from the leftmost element of array[] and compare k with each element of array[] one by one.
- If k matches with an element in array[] , return the index.
- If k doesn’t match with any of elements in array[], return -1 or element not found.
- Set two pointers low and high at the lowest and the highest positions respectively.
- Find the middle element mid of the array ie. arr[(low + high)/2]
- If x == mid, then return mid.Else, compare the element to be searched with m.
- If x > mid, compare x with the middle element of the elements on the right side of mid. This is done by setting low to low = mid + 1.
- Else, compare x with the middle element of the elements on the left side of mid. This is done by setting high to high = mid - 1.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 until low meets high
i) #Use a linear search method to match the item in a list.
def linearsearch(array, n, k):
for i in range(0, n):
if (array [i] == k):
return i
return -1
array = eval(input())
k = eval(input())
n = len(array)
array.sort()
result = linearsearch(array, n, k)
if(result == -1):
print(array)
print("Element not found")
else:
print(array)
print("Element found at index: ", result)
ii) # Find the element in a list using Binary Search(Iterative Method).
def binarySearchIter(array, k, low, high):
while(low<=high):
mid=low+(high-low)//2
if array[mid]==k:
return mid
elif array[mid]<k:
low=mid+1
else:
high=mid+1
return -1
array=eval(input())
#sort the array
array.sort()
print(array)
#k-item to be searched
k=eval(input())
low=0
high= len(array)-1
# use the binary search function to find the item in the list
result=binarySearchIter(array, k, low, high)
# use if-else to print sorted array and "Element not found" if the item is not present in the list otherwise print sorted array and "Element found at index: ", result
if result>=0:
print("Element found at index: ",result)
else:
print("Element not found")
iii) # Find the element in a list using Binary Search (recursive Method).
def binarySearchIter(array, k, low, high):
while(low<=high):
mid=low+(high-low)//2
if array[mid]==k:
return mid
elif array[mid]<k:
low=mid+1
else:
high=mid+1
return -1
array=eval(input())
#sort the array
array.sort()
print(array)
#k-item to be searched
k=eval(input())
low=0
high= len(array)-1
# use the binary search function to find the item in the list
result=binarySearchIter(array, k, low, high)
# use if-else to print sorted array and "Element not found" if the item is not present in the list otherwise print sorted array and "Element found at index: ", result
if result>=0:
print("Element found at index: ",result)
else:
print("Element not found")
#k-item to be searched
k=eval(input())
low=0
high= len(array)-1
# use the binary search function to find the item in the list
result=binarySearchIter(array, k, low, high)
# use if-else to print sorted array and "Element not found" if the item is not present in the list otherwise print sorted array and "Element found at index: ", result
if result>=0:
print("Element found at index: ",result)
else:
print("Element not found")
1.# Use a linear search method to match the item in a list.
ii) # Find the element in a list using Binary Search(Iterative Method).
iii) # Find the element in a list using Binary Search (recursive Method).
Thus the linear search and binary search algorithm is implemented using python programming.
