What is a linear search algorithm in C?

Ans: A Linear Search algorithm is used to find an element in an array sequentially.

What is the worst-case time complexity of the linear search algorithm?

Ans: The worst-case time complexity of a linear search algorithm is O(N).

Why is the linear search algorithm not preferred in sorted arrays?

Ans: A linear search algorithm iterates over all the element in the array to find the element. However, an optimal approach to using the Binary search can find the element in a time complexity of O(logN).
