When choosing a data structure or algorithm, ... the Binary Search algorithm is almost always more efficient than the Linear Search algorithm–something you’ll see for yourself in Part 2.

When a program attempts to search a data structure for a particular item, it uses an algorithm. An algorithm is a process, defined in code, for carrying out a specific task.
