7 Questions
What is Binary Search?
A searching algorithm used in a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half
What are the conditions for applying Binary Search in a data structure?
The data structure must be sorted and access to any element of the data structure takes constant time
What is the time complexity of Binary Search?
O(log N)
When should Binary Search be used?
When searching a large dataset that is sorted and stored in contiguous memory
What are the basic steps to perform Binary Search?
Set the low index to the first element of the array and the high index to the last element, set the middle index to the average of the low and high indices, decide the next search space based on the value of the key and the middle element, repeat until the target element is found or the search space is exhausted
What is the difference between Iterative and Recursive Binary Search?
Iterative Binary Search uses a loop to repeatedly divide the search interval in half, while Recursive Binary Search uses function calls to do the same
What are some other searching algorithms besides Binary Search?
Linear Search, Sentinel Linear Search, Ternary Search, Jump Search, Interpolation Search, Exponential Search, Fibonacci Search
