Learning objectives
- Explain Binary Search and Its Invariant: Correctness as a Template in the language of the current curriculum, not just the source book.
- Apply Binary Search and Its Invariant: Correctness as a Template to one concrete learner task or example inside this semester.
- Use
competitive-programming,grokking-algorithms,introduction-to-algorithms-clrs,the-algorithm-design-manualas a selective source of truth when the learner-facing explanation is not enough.
Prerequisites
- The earlier concept pages and practice tasks in the current module.
