Regardless of the algorithm being used, a search through an array is always performed
A) from lowest to highest element
B) from highest to lowest element
C) beginning with the middle element
D) using a binary search algorithm
E) None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The order and direction of the search through an array depend on the algorithm being used. For example, a linear search typically starts from the first element and examines each element in order until the target element is found or the end of array is reached. A binary search, on the other hand, starts by examining the middle element and then recursively divides the array in half until the target element is found or the search range becomes empty. Therefore, neither A, B, C, nor D is always true. The correct answer is E, "None of these."
