Binary Search: Basics and Execution

This lecture covers the fundamental concept of binary search, which is essential for many algorithms. It explains the process of searching for an item in both unordered and ordered lists, highlighting the differences in time complexity. The instructor demonstrates the step-by-step execution of the binary search algorithm, emphasizing its efficiency in comparison to linear search. Additionally, the lecture discusses the temporal complexity of the algorithm, showcasing how the size of the list is halved at each step.
