This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

Binary search is like a super-fast game of "Hot or Cold" with a sorted list: you keep guessing the middle number, then cut the list in half based on whether you're too high or too low, finding the target in no time!

Additional Context

I think Binary Search is one of the first concepts every new developer learns, but I never thought to compare it to the game Hot and Cold. This community is really making me think differently!
