Explanation of Solution

Difference between linear search and binary search:

Linear search Binary search
Linear search or sequential search is the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array one by one till the last element in the search element is found. Binary search is a smart search process that searches for the particular element that is present in the array from the middle towards the left or right until the search element is found.
The search uses a loop that iterates from the beginning till the last element to find the search element.

The search element is searched from the middle as the elements present in the array need to be present in the sorted order...
