Practical1 CPP

This C++ program compares the performance of linear search, iterative binary search, and recursive binary search algorithms. It generates a random array of numbers, takes a target number from the user, and uses each of the three search algorithms to find the target number in the array. It measures and prints the time taken for each search algorithm using chrono library functions. This allows it to compare the performance and efficiency of the different search methods.
