Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a binary search algorithm, what happens if the target is less than the mid value?
  • Step 1: Start with a sorted array and choose the middle element (mid value).
  • Step 2: Compare the target value with the mid value.
  • Step 3: If the target value is less than the mid value, it means the target must be in the left half of the array.
  • Step 4: Discard the right half of the array (including the mid value) from the search.
  • Step 5: Repeat the process with the left half of the array until the target is found or the search space is empty.
