Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Create a program that searches a large list for a value and implements both break and else statements effectively.

💡 Hint: Focus on using the else for cases where the search is complete.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how using break vs. not using it changes the performance of searching algorithms.

💡 Hint: Think about how often you need to loop through all elements versus when you find your result.
