## Searching

- If you want to find a number in a sequence of values that occur in arbitrary order, you must look through all elements until you have found a match or until you reach the end.
- This is called a linear or sequential search.
- There is nothing you can do to speed up the search.
- The procedure returns the index of the match, or a -1 if the value cannot be found.
