Excerpt: See here for what this is supposed to be. A binary search algorithm is an algorithm used to search an already sorted list for an element in the list. The method is analogous to guessing the answer to a number guessing game, where you are provided with a range of numbers and will guess the number in the mind of the host. The host may respond with "higher," "lower " and "yes" (meaning the guess is correct). The algorithm runs in O(log n) time. This inputs a list arr(0 to n-1) and outputs the index of the item if it is found, otherwise -1. binary_search(arr, item) binary_search(arr, item, 0, n-1)binary_search(arr, item, low, high) if high value return binary_search(arr, item, low, mid-1) else if A at mid
