Which of the following search algorithms is represented by the pseudocode? index = 0 WHILE (index < number of items in the list) { IF (list[index] == target element) { RETURN index } index = index+1 } (1 point) Responses binary search binary search linear search linear search quicksort quicksort hashing

Answer 1

The pseudocode you provided is a representation of the linear search algorithm.

In a linear search, the algorithm checks each element in the list sequentially until it finds the target element or reaches the end of the list. The code structure clearly indicates that it iterates through each index and checks if the current list element matches the target, returning the index if a match is found.

Therefore, the correct answer is linear search.
