Development a sequential search algorithm by using triple structure

الملخص EN

This paper develops sequential search algorithm by using new structure called Triple structure.

In this structure data are represented as triple.

It consists of three locations (1-Top, 2- Left, and 3- Right) Sequential search algorithm is a simplest form.

This search is applicable to a table organized either as an array or as a linked list, this process makes the maximum number of comparisons (Average case complexity of Search) is O (n) (pronounce this "big-Oh-n" or "the order of magnitude"), if we search in a list consists of N elements.

In this research the number of comparison is reduced to a third by using triple structure, is achieved this process makes the maximum number of comparisons is O (2.5(n/3)) if search in a list consist of N elements.
