Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider an array of size n. You implement linear search, and then you change the array to be sorted. How would you expect the average search time to change, and why?
💡 Hint: Compare efficiency based on array structure.
If the input size doubles, how does that impact the time complexity for linear versus binary search?
💡 Hint: Chart how inputs affect search times differently.
