Program Plan Intro
Binary search:
This is the process which uses divide and conquer strategy to find the specific element of an array.
- The searching process starts from middle element of the array. If the searching element is less than the middle element then it eliminates the second half of the array and it continues searching with the first half of the array.
- It takes less time to search specific element in an array.
