linear search; sequential search
A basic search algorithm that checks each element one by one until the target is found or the list ends. Used in computer science contexts.
Linear search can be used even when the data is not sorted.
This program searches for the target value in the array using linear search.
Binary search requires sorted data and is much faster than linear search for large datasets.
Synonym for linear search; 線形探索 is also common in computing contexts.
Compound of 順序 (order, sequence) and 探索 (search, exploration). The term directly describes the method of searching in order.
