The document discusses various searching, hashing, and sorting algorithms. It begins by defining searching as the process of locating target data and describes linear and binary search techniques. It then explains linear search, linear search algorithms, and the advantages and disadvantages of linear search. Next, it covers binary search, hashing, hashing functions, hash collisions, collision resolution techniques including separate chaining and open addressing. Finally, it discusses various sorting algorithms like bubble sort, selection sort, radix sort, heap sort, and merge sort which is used for external sorting.
