Detailed explanation-1: -Binary search is an efficient algorithm for finding an item from a sorted list of items. It works by repeatedly dividing in half the portion of the list that could contain the item, until you’ve narrowed down the possible locations to just one.
Detailed explanation-2: -A binary search is a quick and efficient method of finding a specific target value from a set of ordered items. By starting in the middle of the sorted list, it can effectively cut the search space in half by determining whether to ascend or descend the list based on the median value compared to the target value.
Detailed explanation-3: -A binary search is an advanced type of search algorithm that finds and fetches data from a sorted list of items. Its core working principle involves dividing the data in the list to half until the required value is located and displayed to the user in the search result.
Detailed explanation-4: -Binary search follows the divide and conquer approach in which the list is divided into two halves, and the item is compared with the middle element of the list. If the match is found then, the location of the middle element is returned.
