An efficient algorithm that finds the position of a target value within a sorted array by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half. If the target value is less than the middle element, the search continues in the lower half, otherwise in the upper half.
A straightforward search algorithm that checks each element in a list sequentially until the desired element is found or the list ends. It is simple to implement but inefficient for large datasets, with a time complexity of O(n).
An algorithm that works on sorted arrays by dividing the array into blocks of a fixed size and performing a linear search within the blocks. It jumps ahead by a set number of steps to find the target value, reducing the number of comparisons needed.
An efficient search algorithm that finds the range of the target value and then performs a binary search within that range. It is particularly useful for unbounded or infinite lists, with a time complexity of O(log i) for finding the target, where i is the position of the target.
