We'll call the sought value the target value for clarity. Binary search maintains a contiguous subsequence of the starting sequence where the target value is surely located. What is Data Structure and Algorithm? Data Structure can be referred to as a collection of data objects that allows storing, organizing, and retrieving data on systems. An algorithm refers to a set of steps used in completing a certain task or to get the desired output. A deep understanding of Data Structures and algorithms helps in efficient and well-optimized coding. Data Structures and Algorithms are important since they are often considered to be the root or the foundation of computer science. They play an important role in implementing software and at the same time in the job interview process as well.
