Jump search
Jump search is a searching algorithm to find the position of a searched value in a sorted list by dividing the array into several fixed-size blocks, jumping to the first index of the block, then comparing the value of the block's first index with the searched value. If the value of the block's first index is greater than the searched value, it jumps backward to the previous block, then starts a linear search of the block.
