Which of the following is a common application of binary search?
Step 1: Understand what binary search is. It is a method used to find a specific item in a list that is sorted.
Step 2: Know that binary search works by repeatedly dividing the list in half. It checks the middle item to see if it is the one you are looking for.
Step 3: If the middle item is not the target, it decides whether to search the left half or the right half of the list based on whether the target is smaller or larger than the middle item.
Step 4: Repeat this process until the item is found or the list cannot be divided anymore.
