    Binary search is a divide and conquer algorithm for finding a target value within a sorted array.

    • Calculate the middle index and compare the target value with the middle element.

    • If the target is smaller, update the high index to mid-1; if larger, update the low index to mid+1.

    • Repeat the process until the target is found or the low index surpasses the high index.
