If an array is sorted in ____________ order, the values are stored from lowest to highest.
The____________ search algorithm repeatedly divides the portion of an array being searched in half.
To sort \(\mathrm{N}\) numbers, selection sort makes __________ passes through the data.
Which sort, bubble sort or selection sort, would require fewer passes to sort a set of data that is already in the desired order?
Complete the following table by calculating the average and maximum number of comparisons the linear search will perform, and the maximum number of comparisons the binary search will perform. $$\begin{array}{l|lllll} & 50 & 500 & 10,000 & 100,000 & 10,000,000 \\ \text { Array Size } \rightarrow & \text { Elements } & \text { Elements } & \text { Elements } & \text { Elements } & \text { Elements } \\ \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Linear Search } \\ \text { (Average Comparisons) } \end{array} & & & & & \\ \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Linear Search } \\ ( \text { Maximum Comparisons) } \end{array} & & & & & \\ \hline \begin{array}{l} \text { Binary Search } \\ ( \text { Maximum Comparisons) } \end{array} & & & & & \\ \hline \end{array}$$
