Implementing Linear Search in Javascript

Learn how the Linear search Algorithm works and how to implement it .

Linear search is a Searching algorithm, which is used to check if an element is present in an array or list . It is also called Sequential search.

A linear search sequentially search for the target element in the array. If it finds the element in the array it stop searching and returns successful . If it reaches the end of the array, then it returns element not found.

Algorithm

1. Traverse the array using a for loop (any looping technique).
2. In every iteration, compare the target value with the current value of the array.

• If the values match, return the current index of the array.
• If the values do not match, move on to the next array element.

3. If no match is found, return element not found.
