What are the differences between searching algorithms?

What are the main differences between linear and binary search algorithms?

Linear search checks each element one by one, while binary search divides the list in half, requiring a sorted array.

Which one is more efficient for large datasets?

Binary search is more efficient for large datasets, with a time complexity of O(log n) compared to O(n) for linear search.

Are there other searching algorithms I should know about?

Yes, there are several, including jump search, interpolation search, and exponential search, each with its own use cases.

Can you explain how jump search works?

Jump search divides the array into blocks and jumps ahead by a fixed number of steps, then performs a linear search within the block.
