package com.thealgorithms.searches; import com.thealgorithms.devutils.searches.SearchAlgorithm; /** * An implementation of the Jump Search algorithm. * *

* Jump Search is an algorithm for searching sorted arrays. It works by dividing the array * into blocks of a fixed size (the block size is typically the square root of the array length) * and jumping ahead by this block size to find a range where the target element may be located. * Once the range is found, a linear search is performed within that block. * *

* The Jump Search algorithm is particularly effective for large sorted arrays where the cost of * performing a linear search on the entire array would be prohibitive. * *

* Worst-case performance: O(√N)
* Best-case performance: O(1)
* Average performance: O(√N)
* Worst-case space complexity: O(1) * *

* This class implements the {@link SearchAlgorithm} interface, providing a generic search method * for any comparable type. */ public class JumpSearch implements SearchAlgorithm { /** * Jump Search algorithm implementation. * * @param array the sorted array containing elements * @param key the element to be searched * @return the index of {@code key} if found, otherwise -1 */ @Override public > int find(T[] array, T key) { int length = array.length; int blockSize = (int) Math.sqrt(length); int limit = blockSize; // Jumping ahead to find the block where the key may be located while (limit < length && key.compareTo(array[limit]) > 0) { limit = Math.min(limit + blockSize, length - 1); } // Perform linear search within the identified block for (int i = limit - blockSize; i <= limit && i < length; i++) { if (array[i].equals(key)) { return i; } } return -1; } }
