However linear search is a great choice if you expect to find the target value, 4) Worst Case Performance - There are two worst cases for linear search. Case 1: when the target value at the end of the list, 5) Average Case Performance - If this search was used 1000 times on 1000 different lists, some of them would be the best case, some the worst. For most searches, it would be somewhere in between., 6) Time Complexity of Linear Search - Linear search runs in linear time.
