Interpolation Search
Interpolation Search is an efficient searching algorithm for sorted collections of data, such as arrays or lists. It is an improvement over Binary Search, particularly when the data is uniformly distributed.
Introduction to Searching – Data Structure and Algorithm Tutorial
Searching is the fundamental process of locating a specific element or item within a collection of data. This collection of data can take various forms, such as arrays, lists, trees, or other structured representations.
The primary objective of searching is to determine whether the desired element exists within the data, and if so, to identify its precise location or retrieve it. It plays an important role in various computational tasks and real-world applications, including information retrieval, data analysis, decision-making processes, and more.
