The first two Individual Projects used linked lists for stacks, queues, and hashing implementations. With this task, searching performance with linked lists will be addressed.
Part 1: Your tasks for this assignment are the following:
Discuss the use of a binary tree when searching for keys in an array.
Discuss the use of a binary tree when searching for keys in a linked list.
Part 2: Complete the following program:
Describe a linked list structure to support binary searching.
Create pseudo code to describe a binary search with this linked list variation.
Week 4 Deliverables:
Summary of binary search with an array.
Summary of binary search with a linked list.
1 fully documented pseudo code implementation of a linked list useful for binary searches.
Part 3: Key Assignment Draft:
Once you have completed this section, submit the pseudocode and summary of binary searches from all of the following in your Key Assignment template:
Section 1: Lists, Stacks, and Queues
Section 2: Heaps and Trees
Section 3: Sorting Algorithms
Section 4: Searching
