Searching for Data
•Searching algorithms will typically be modularized into their own function(s)...which will have two input arguments:
–(1) The key to search for (target)
–(2) The list to search
•and, two output arguments:
–(1) A boolean indicating success or failure (did we find
a match?)
–(2) The location in the list where the target was found;
generally if the search was not successful the location returned is some undefined value and should not be used.
