When should I use sequential algorithms?

Can you explain when to use sequential algorithms?

Sequential algorithms are best used when tasks need to be completed in a specific order, like sorting or searching.

What are some examples of sequential algorithms?

Examples include bubble sort, merge sort, and linear search. They process data step by step.

Are there situations where sequential algorithms are not efficient?

Yes, for large datasets or parallel tasks, algorithms like divide-and-conquer or parallel processing may be more efficient.

How do I choose between sequential and parallel algorithms?

Consider the problem size, data dependencies, and whether tasks can be executed simultaneously to make your choice.
