Searching

Searching (dll) sits in a sorted list. Vikram’s job is find roll 12. Write that first.

Searching (dll) on the board — linear vs binary. Then say what find roll 12 looks like after.

Without Searching (dll), a sorted list gets messy and find roll 12 is hard to trust.

Searching (dll) shows up in a sorted list. Name find roll 12, not “a real-world scenario”.

If find roll 12 breaks under Searching (dll), check binary search on unsorted data first.

Searching (dll) is not a lonely heading. Vikram ties it to find roll 12.

Close Searching (dll) with — “If I skip it, find roll 12 goes wrong like this: binary search on unsorted data.”

Exam tip

For Searching (dll): definition + a sorted list + one failure.

Example

# Searching
data = [4, 1, 3]
print("start", data)
if data[0] > data[1]:
    data[0], data[1] = data[1], data[0]
print("after one step", data)

Searching (dll) — Dry-run [4, 1, 3]. Say the list after one step.
