When searching through large sorted datasets like dictionaries, phone directories, or database indexes, checking every element would be impractical. Binary search dramatically reduces search time by eliminating half the remaining elements with each comparison, making it essential for efficient lookups in sorted collections.

Binary search is an efficient algorithm for finding a target in a sorted list by repeatedly dividing the search space in half.

Algorithm

  1. Start with low=0, high=length-1
  2. While low <= high:
    • Calculate mid = (low + high) // 2
    • If list[mid] == target, return mid
    • If list[mid] < target, search right half
    • If list[mid] > target, search left half
  3. Return -1 if not found
divide_eliminate Each comparison eliminates half the remaining search space

logarithmic_time O(log n) means doubling the data only adds one more step

Characteristics

  • Time complexity: O(log n) - much faster than linear search
  • Space complexity: O(1) iterative, O(log n) recursive
  • Requires: sorted list
  • Best case: O(1) - target is at middle
  • Worst case: O(log n) - target not found or at edge

When to Use

  • Large sorted lists
  • Multiple searches on same data
  • When speed matters
  • Data does not change often

Exercise: practical.py

Implement a function that uses binary search to find the closest value to a target in a sorted list
