What is the average time complexity of binary search?

Step 1: Understand what binary search is. It is a method used to find an item in a sorted list by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half.
Step 2: Start with the entire list. Check the middle element of the list.
Step 3: If the middle element is the target, you are done.
Step 4: If the target is less than the middle element, repeat the search on the left half of the list.
Step 5: If the target is greater than the middle element, repeat the search on the right half of the list.
Step 6: Each time you repeat the search, you are halving the number of elements you need to check.
Step 7: This halving process continues until you find the target or the search space is empty.
Step 8: The number of times you can halve the list is logarithmic in relation to the number of elements, which is why the time complexity is O(log n).
