Trace three searches by hand on the following datasets.

Unsorted Data Set: 5, 2, 12, 7, 3, 9, 8, 6

Sorted Data Set: 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26

To trace a linear/sequential search, list each array index that is visited.

For the linear/sequential search, use the "optimized" versions.

This means you will end the search when the target is found.

For sorted lists, you will also end the search once you know the target cannot be found.

To trace a binary search, list the value of first, last, and mid for each pass through the method.

Trace 1:

Trace the sorted data set using a linear/sequential search (optimized for sorted data).

Sorted Data Set: 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26

Search target: 15

To trace a linear search, list each array index that is visited.

Trace 2:

Trace the sorted data set using a binary search.

Sorted Data Set: 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26

Search target: 23

To trace a binary search, list the value of first, last, and mid for each pass through the method.

Trace 3:

Trace the sorted data set using a binary search.

Sorted Data Set: 3, 5, 8, 9, 12, 14, 18, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26

Search target: 15

To trace a binary search, list the value of first, last, and mid for each pass through the method.
