DSU 313301 Practical No-4: Write a ‘C’ program to Search a particular data from the given Array of numbers using the Binary Search Method
Binary search is a highly efficient algorithm for finding a specific value in a sorted array. It significantly reduces the search time complexity to O(log n) by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half, making it particularly useful for large datasets.
