Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a binary search algorithm, what happens if the middle element is less than the target?
  • Step 1: Start with a sorted array and a target value you want to find.
  • Step 2: Find the middle element of the array.
  • Step 3: Compare the middle element with the target value.
  • Step 4: If the middle element is less than the target, it means the target must be in the right half of the array.
  • Step 5: Discard the left half of the array (including the middle element) and focus on the right half.
  • Step 6: Repeat the process with the new right half until you find the target or the array is empty.
