Consider the following list: 45, 78, 23, 12, 63, 90, 38, 56, 88, 15 Using a sequential search, how many comparisons are required to determine whether the following items are in the list or not?...

Consider the following list:

45, 78, 23, 12, 63, 90, 38, 56, 88, 15

Using a sequential search, how many comparisons are required to determine whether the following items are in the list or not? (Recall that comparisons mean item comparisons, not index comparisons.) (1)

a. 90                       b. 14                      c. 45                       d. 23                      e. 5

Write a version of the sequential search algorithm that can be used to search a sorted list. (1)
