Solution
| S. No. | Linear Search | Binary Search |
| 1. | Linear search works both for sorted and unsorted data. | Binary search works on sorted data (either in ascending order or in descending order). |
| 2. | Linear search begins at the start of an array, i.e., at 0th position. | This technique divides the array into two halves, and the desired data item is searched in each half. |
Notes
Students should refer to the answer according to their questions.

Using the switch statement, write a menu driven program to:
(i) To find and display all the factors of a number input by the user (including 1 and excluding number itself).
Example:
Sample Input: n=15
Sample Output: 1, 3, 5.
(ii) To find and display the factorial of a number input by the user (the factorial of a non-negative integer n, denoted by n\ is the product of all integers less than or equal to n.
Example:
Sample Input: n=5
Sample Output: 5! = 1×2×3×4×5 = 120.
