Yes, Sentinel Linear Search is better than normal Linear Search in certain scenarios. Here's why:
In normal Linear Search, the loop checks two conditions in each iteration: 1) if the current element matches the search key, and 2) if the loop index is within the array bounds[1][4]. This results in 2*N+1 comparisons in the worst case, where N is the size of the array[1][5].
However, in Sentinel Linear Search, the last element of the array is replaced with the search key before the loop starts[1][2]. This eliminates the need to check if the loop index is within bounds, as the search key is guaranteed to be found before reaching the end of the array[1][4].
The loop in Sentinel Linear Search only needs to check if the current element matches the search key. This reduces the number of comparisons in the worst case to N+2, where N is the size of the array[1][2].
