Binary Search

Development

Binary search is an algorithm for searching sorted data structures efficiently. It works by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half, comparing the target value to the middle element of the interval, and narrowing the interval to the half that may contain the target value.

Fortran

Development

Fortran is a general-purpose, compiled imperative programming language that is especially suited to numeric computation and scientific computing. Originally developed by IBM in the 1950s for scientific and engineering applications, Fortran came to dominate this area of programming early on and has been in continuous use for over half a century.
