In the worst case, the element to be located is at the very end of the list be it a normal list or a self-organized one and thus n comparisons must be made to reach it.
U najgorem slučaju, element koji treba pronaći nalazi se na samom kraju liste; bilo to obična ili samoorganizovana lista, mora biti napravljeno n poređenja kako bi se se stiglo do tog elementa.
