If binary search is more efficient than linear search, why not just sort an array and then use binary search whenever we need to search for an element in an unsorted array?

What will be an ideal response?


The overhead introduced by sorting the array before searching may be great enough to make the
sorting/binary search combination less efficient than using linear search alone.
