Q: Which of the following best describes the divide-and-conquer approach used in binary search?
Solution:
Binary search uses the divide-and-conquer strategy by dividing the array into halves to find the target.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Start with a sorted array and a target value you want to find.
Step 2: Look at the middle element of the array.
Step 3: If the middle element is the target, you are done.
Step 4: If the target is less than the middle element, repeat the search on the left half of the array.
Step 5: If the target is greater than the middle element, repeat the search on the right half of the array.
Step 6: Continue dividing the array in half until you find the target or the array is empty.
