+# Jump Search
+
+In computer science, jump search is a search algorithm for sorted array which find the element by jumping ahead by fixed steps or skipping some elements in place of searching all elements.
+
+## Install
+
+```
+pip install allalgorithms
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+```py
+from allalgorithms.searches import jump_search
+
+arr = [-2, 1, 2, 7, 10, 77]
+
+print(jump_search(arr, 7))
+# -> 3
+
+print(jump_search(arr, 3))
+# -> None
+```
+
+## API
+
+### jump_search(array, query)
+
+> Return array index if its found, otherwise returns `None`
+
+##### Params:
+
+- `arr`: Sorted Array
+- `query`: Element to search for in the array
+
