7.5 Searching

Enduring Understanding

Programmers incorporate iteration and selection into code as a way of providing instructions for the computer to process each of the many possible input values.

Learning Objective

Apply sequential/linear search algorithms to search for specific information in array or ArrayList objects.

Essential Knowledge

There are standard algorithms for searching.

Sequential/linear search algorithms check each element in order until the desired value is found or all elements in the array or ArrayList have been checked.
