Jump Search - Technical Overview

1. Algorithm Description: Jump Search divides the sorted array into blocks and performs a linear search within the block to find the target value.

2. Steps of Jump Search:

• Determine the optimal jump size, which is typically the square root of the array length.
• Jump ahead in the array to find the block where the target may reside.
• Perform a linear search within the identified block to locate the target.

3. Time Complexity: O(√n) in the average and worst case.

4. Space Complexity: O(1), as it operates in-place.

5. Stability: Jump Search is not a stable search algorithm.

6. Usage: Ideal for searching in large, sorted datasets.
