Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the time complexity of searching for an element in a queue implemented using an array?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand what a queue is. A queue is a data structure that follows the First In First Out (FIFO) principle.
Step 2: Know that a queue can be implemented using an array, where elements are stored in a linear format.
Step 3: When searching for an element in the queue, you need to look at each element one by one.
Step 4: If the queue has 'n' elements, you may have to check all 'n' elements to find the one you are looking for.
Step 5: Since you might check every element in the worst case, the time it takes grows linearly with the number of elements.
Step 6: Therefore, the time complexity for searching in this case is O(n), where 'n' is the number of elements in the queue.
