Binary vs Linear searches for unsorted N elements

Question

I try to understand a formula when we should use quicksort. For instance, we have an array with N = 1_000_000 elements. If we will search only once, we sho

Answer 1

You want to solve inequality that rougly might be described as

t * n > C * n * log(n) + t * log(n)

where t is number of checks and C is some constant for sort implementation (should be determined experimentally). When you evaluate this constant, you can solve inequality numerically (with uncertainty, of course)
