Answer
Linear Search | Binary Search |
---|---|
Linear search works on sorted and unsorted arrays | Binary search works on only sorted arrays (ascending or descending) |
Each element of the array is checked against the target value until the element is found or end of the array is reached | Array is successively divided into 2 halves and the target element is searched either in the first half or in the second half |
Linear Search is slower | Binary Search is faster |
