Sample linear search comparisons questions

Linear search checks items one by one from the start. Count how many items you check to find the target. These examples come from the Easy setting; every generated worksheet draws a fresh set.

  1. List: [6, 2, 9, 4, 7]. How many numbers do you check to find 7?

    4 · 5

  2. List: [8, 6, 4, 2]. How many numbers do you check to find 4?

    4 · 3

  3. List: [10, 20, 30]. How many numbers do you check to find 20?

    20 · 2

  4. List: [4, 7, 2, 9]. Checking left to right, how many numbers do you look at to find 2?

    4 · 3

Check the sample answers
  1. 5
    7 is the 5th item, so 5 checks.
  2. 3
    4 is the 3rd item, so 3 checks.
  3. 2
    20 is the 2nd item, so 2 checks.
  4. 3
    2 is the 3rd item, so you check 4, 7, 2 = 3 checks.

Practice focus

Linear search looks at each item in order from the first until it finds the target. The number of checks equals the target position, or the whole list if the item is missing.

Grade placement is a planning guide for choosing practice. The registry records standard-code mappings as unreviewed, so these pages are not a claim of alignment with a national standard.
