Linear arrays
Linear arrays[1]
There are four common algorithms we use on a linear array. Although the IB asks only for you to know these at the pseudocode level, I suggest you memorize these for the rest of your life.
You will remember we use array to hold values of the same type at contiguous memory locations. In particular, the use of arrays allows us to create "groups" or "clusters" of variables without needing to give a unique variable name to each, but still allowing us to individually index into the elements of the array.[2]
- Sequential search
- Binary search
- Bubble sort
- Selection sort
