The array elements are in the array, not in a file.

How do you search for an element in unsorted array?

Let's use integers as an example. int elementToFind; // the element we want to search for int[] elementArray; // the array we want to search through boolean found = false; //boolean flag to indicate if we found the element or not for(int i = 0; i < elementArray.length; ++i) { if(elementArray[i] == elementToFind) { // we found the element at index i // do whatever you want to do with this information found = true; } //if found is still false so it means this element is not found if(!found) { //the element is not found in the array } }


If array is full how you apply linear search?

An array in C is structured so that it has no particular size; you have to know ahead of time what the dimensions are.So, a linear search means that you go from the first element to the last, either finding the element in the table, or going to the very last element and not finding it.Arrays in C can be zero-terminated, in which case you get the element that does not have a value, and that indicates the value you are searching for is not there.If the array is not zero terminated then you can calculate the dimension of the array, or apply the sizeof operator times the size of the first element to determine the length of the search.


What algorithm uses a loop to step through each element of an array starting with the first element searching for a value?

What you're describing is called a sequential search or linear search.


Is it true In a sequential search each element is compared to the searchValue and the search stops when the value is found or the end of the array is encountered?

As I know the search method depends on your(programmer's) logic. In sequential search it will be better to stop the search as soon as search value encounters or if search value is not in the array then it should stop at the end.


Which are the searching algorithm always compare the middle element with the searching elements in the given array?
