This algorithm is much more efficient compared to linear search algorithm. Binary search only works on sorted data structures. This algorithm repeatedly target the center of the sorted data structure & divide the search space into half till the match is found. The time complexity of binary search algorithm is O(Log n). Working - 1. Search the sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half 2. Begin with an interval covering the whole array. 3. If the value of the search key is less than the item in the middle of the interval, narrow the interval to the lower half. 4. Otherwise narrow it to the upper half. 5. Repeatedly check until the value is found or the interval is empty Pseudo code for Binary Search Algorithm - 1. take input array, left, right & x 2. START LOOP - while(left greater than or equal to right) 2.1 mid = left + (right-left)/2 2.2 if(arr[mid]==x) then 2.2.1 return m 2.3 else if(arr[mid] less than x) then 2.3.1 left = m + 1 2.4 else 2.4.1 right= mid - 1 END LOOP 3. return -1 Full DSA playlist - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCyuHSJS7XE&list=PLIY8eNdw5tW_zX3OCzX7NJ8bL1p6pWfgG Full Code & Theory article - https://simplesnippets.tech/binary-search-algorithm-with-cpp-code-data-structures-algorithms/ C++ Programming Tutorials for Beginners Course - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKNGgAXTark&list=PLIY8eNdw5tW_o8gsLqNBu8gmScCAqKm2Q Simple Snippets Official Website - http://simplesnippets.tech/ Simple Snippets on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/simplesnippets/ Simple Snippets on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/simplesnippets/ Simple Snippets on Twitter - https://twitter.com/simplesnippet Simple Snippets Google Plus Page - https://plus.google.com/+SimpleSnippets Simple Snippets email ID - [email protected] For More Technology News, Latest Updates and Blog articles visit our Official Website - http://simplesnippets.tech/ #binarysearch #searchingalgorithms #datastructures
