Showing Search Results to the User

Assignment 1 - Movie1 - SM 25

What does this function do?

This function runs a search and prints out the result in a clean, consistent way. When the user searches for a movie, this function:

  • Runs either the linear or binary search function (Depending on what is passed in it)

  • Tells the user if the movie was found

  • Shows the release year (if found)

  • Displays how many comparisons were made

It does not perform the search logic itself. It simply calls the correct search function and prints the outcome.


Why do we need this function?

Both linear search and binary search give back the same kind of results:

  • Found or not

  • Matching year (if found)

  • Number of comparisons
