Consider the searching problem: Input: A sequence of n numbers A = a 1 , a 2

Question:

Consider the searching problem:

Input: A sequence of n numbers A = 〈a1, a2,......,an〉 and a value ν.

Output: An index i such that ν = A[i] or the special value NIL if ν does not appear in A.

Write pseudocode for linear search, which scans through the sequence, looking for ν. Using a loop invariant, prove that your algorithm is correct. Make sure that your loop invariant fulfills the three necessary properties.
