Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following algorithms can be improved by using binary search?
  • Step 1: Understand what binary search is. It is a method to find an element in a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half.
  • Step 2: Know that binary search is more efficient than linear search, especially for large datasets. Linear search checks each element one by one.
  • Step 3: Identify that binary search can only be used on sorted arrays. If the array is not sorted, binary search will not work correctly.
  • Step 4: Conclude that if you need to find an element in a sorted array, using binary search will improve the efficiency of the search process.
