Binary search python
The document explains the binary search algorithm, detailing both recursive and iterative methods for efficiently finding an index of a specific element in a sorted list. It outlines the process of comparing the target value with the middle element and adjusting the search range recursively or iteratively based on the comparison results. The document also provides an external link for further learning on the iterative method of binary search.

- 3. The BinarySearch Algorithm finds an index of a particular element in the list. It is one of the fastest and most popular algorithms. We can summarize the complete working of the Binary Search Algorithm in the following steps: 1. In the sorted array, find the middle element. 2. Compare x with the middle element. 3. If x equals the middle element, then the middle index is returned. Otherwise, the x will be compared with the middle item. 4. Else if x is greater than the middle item, then it will be compared to the right-side elements of the index. 5. Else if x is less than the mid element, then x will be compared to only the left side elements of the index. 6. We will choose either algorithm to run for the right half of the list or the left half of the list of items
- 4. The Recursivemethod follows the divide and conquer approach. In Recursive Binary Search, one function calls itself repeatedly until an element is found in the list. Output:
