Interpolation Sequential Search

Interpolation Sequential Search Interpolation sequential search combines estimation and local scanning. It first predicts where the target should lie using interpolation, then performs a short sequential search around that estimate. This method is effective when values are approximately uniformly distributed and when exact positioning may be noisy or approximate. Problem Given a sorted array $A$ and a target $x$, find an index $i$ such that $$ A[i] = x $$...
