* Update linear_search.py Python implementation of recursive linear search algorithm * Update linear_search.py Added different doctests Added the parameter hints Handled the exception * Update linear_search.py added parameter hints to linear_search * Update linear_search.py Both the functions return the index if the target is found and -1 if it is not found The rec_linear_search raises an exception if there is an indexing problem Made changes in the doc comments * Update linear_search.py Co-authored-by: Christian Clauss <cclauss@me.com>
