Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary requirement for using binary search?

  • The array must be sorted
  • It can be used on any array
  • The elements must be integers

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider what happens if the array is not sorted.

Question 2

Is binary search faster than linear search for large datasets?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on how each algorithm processes data.
