Hey guys… Im looking for an alternative search algorithm apart from the sequential search that can also search random data, no indexing. I have a huge database of clients to search from and im currently developing an application in python programming language that can quickly search the database for a match
There are many types of algorithm that we can use to implement/execute the output of any collective data or commonly known as information.
1. Recursive Algorithm. It is one of the best way to search data from your database. This algorithm will call the functions or algorithm multiple times until you get the desired output. You can perform tasks without sorting data.
2. Bubble-Sort Algorithm. The most simple sort algorithm that organizes data will first search for any value, replace the first searched value if the value is greater than or equal.
Example declarations: in VB 6.0
You will need a FORM and a Command Button
Option Explicit
Dim A(20) As Integer
Dim num, i, j, k, arr, temp As Integer
Private Sub Command1_Click()
arr = 0
Print "Your array contains: "
For k = 0 To num – 1
Print "A"; "("; arr; "):"; A(k)
arr = arr + 1
Next k
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
num = InputBox("Intialize the size of your array:")
For i = 0 To num – 1
A(i) = InputBox("Enter your array: ")
Next i
'this will sort your array in ascending order
For i = 0 To num – 1
For j = i + 1 To num – 1
If A(i) > A(j) Then
temp = A(i)
A(i) = A(j)
A(j) = temp
End If
Next j
Next i
End Sub
“This will sort array in ascending order.” You can also get idea from this simple declaration at A1VBCODE.com.
