This is the third in a series about core data structures and algorithms. The outstanding characteristic of binary search is that it’s intuitive. Many algorithms are not, but binary search is what people — anyone, not just programmers — naturally…

This is the second in a series about core data structures and algorithms. Considering how important sorting is to computer science and programming, it’s actually a mystery why more programmers don’t appreciate it.

This is the first in a series about core data structures and algorithms. Many explanations of data structures focus on the implementation — and that is very important — but I’ve always found some context makes it so much easier…
