Detailed Description

Exponential search algorithm

Copyright

2020 Divide-et-impera-11

The algorithm try to search the range where the key should be. If it has been found we do a binary search there. The range of the search grows by exponential every time. If the key is larger than the last element of array, the start of block(block_front) will be equal to the end of block(block_size) and the algorithm return null ponter, every other cases the algoritm return fom the loop.

Binary Search Algorithm (used by struzik_search)

• Time Complexity O(log n) where 'n' is the number of elements
• Worst Time Complexity O(log n)
• Best Time Complexity Ω(1)
• Space Complexity O(1)
• Auxiliary Space Complexity O(1)

  Returns

  pointer to value in the array

  nullptr if value not found
