💡 How Linear Search Works

``` START ↓ Take the first element ↓ Compare element with target ↓ If element == target     → FOUND ↓ Otherwise move to next element ↓ Repeat until target is found OR ↓ End of array reached ↓ NOT FOUND ```

```

```

🧮 Comparison Count

Number of comparisons means the number of times an array element is compared with the target.

Best Case: 1 comparison
Target is the first element.

Worst Case: n comparisons
Target is the last element or does not exist.

Average Case: Approximately (n + 1) / 2 comparisons when successful searches are equally likely.

Time Complexity: O(n)
