Today I read and reviewed the chapter. I learned about the Sequential and Binary Search methods. From what I've learned, this is basically what they are:
Sequential search: Standard search method. Goes through the array multiple times, going up one element at a time. If the element is the one it's looking for, it stops, and returns the position.
Binary search: A faster method. Continues checking for the element, but halves its amount of things it searches each time it is run, making it a lot more efficient.
I plan to take the test Monday!
Don't rush to take the test. You need to practice with these concepts, or you will fall into the trap of thinking you understand them when you really don't.
ReplyDeleteLet's talk today (Monday) about what makes the most sense as far as taking the test.
