Search algorithm

Search algorithm

A search algorithm is an algorithm used to solve a search problem by retrieving information from a data structure. Different types of search algorithms, such as linear, binary, and hashing, can be used depending on the data structure and the desired efficiency. The computational complexity of an algorithm, measured by its maximum theoretical run time, is often used to evaluate its performance.
