Abstracting Binary Search for Monotonic Function Boundaries
Binary search extends far beyond locating values in sorted arrays. The core requirement for applying this technique is identifying a monotonic relationship between an independent variable and a computed result. When a problem can be modeled as finding an input x such that a monotonic function f(x) equals a specific target, binary search becomes ...
