Compare and contrast the linear search and binary search algorithms by searching for the numbers 45 and 54 in the following list:
3 8 12 34 54 84 91 110
Searching for 45, which isn't in the list, requires eight comparisons in a linear search to exhaust all possibilities, whereas a binary search will determine that the target is not in the list after three comparisons. A linear search will find the value 54 in the list in five comparisons, and a binary search finds it in three comparisons.
