Detailed explanation-1: -Binary Search-Using a loop or recursion to divide search space in half after each comparison.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Binary Search is a searching algorithm for finding an element’s position in a sorted array. In this approach, the element is always searched in the middle of a portion of an array. Binary search can be implemented only on a sorted list of items. If the elements are not sorted already, we need to sort them first.
Detailed explanation-4: -A searching algorithm is a basic and fundamental step in computing. It defines a step-by-step method for locating specific data in a data set. Every search algorithm uses a search key in order to complete the process and returns a success or failure status.
