Binary Search – Theory

Alright, let’s dive into the clever idea behind binary search! Think of it as a super-efficient treasure hunt: instead of checking every single location one by one, you cleverly eliminate half the search space with each guess. This “divide and conquer” approach is what makes binary search so incredibly fast, and we’ll unpack exactly how it works in this section. Get ready to be amazed!
