This study guide covers linear/sequential search algorithms. It explains how to search within ArrayLists and integer arrays to find an element and return its index (or -1 if not found). Implementations for both ArrayLists and integer arrays are provided. Binary search is mentioned as another search algorithm but will be covered later.
