Which of the following is a prerequisite for implementing binary search?
  • Step 1: Understand what binary search is. It is a method to find an item in a sorted list quickly.
  • Step 2: Know that binary search works by repeatedly dividing the list in half.
  • Step 3: Realize that for binary search to work correctly, the list must be in a specific order (sorted).
  • Step 4: If the list is not sorted, binary search will not be able to find the item correctly.
