What is the time order of searching for an element in a linked list?

The time complexity of searching for an element in a linked list is O(n), where n is the number of elements in the list.

This is because a linked list does not support direct access by index, and to find a specific element, one must traverse from the beginning of the list, moving from one node to the next, until the desired element is found or the end of the list is reached.

For example, to find an element with a specific value, the algorithm iterates through the nodes one by one, which takes linear time.
