Data structures and algorithms are among the most fundamental concepts of Computer Science. Whether it’s real-world problems you’re trying to solve or the typical coding question asked in an interview, almost every problem requires you to demonstrate a deep understanding of data structures and algorithms. 

This course is a detailed review of some of the most common data structures and algorithms that you’ll see in interviews and your everyday work. With implementation details, thorough explanations, and hands-on coding exercises, you’ll quickly gain the confidence you need to solve any problem, no matter the situation.

What is the worst-case time complexity of the recursive approach of a binary search? 

What is the worst-case time complexity of the recursive approach of a binary search?

What is the worst-case time complexity of the iterative approach of a binary search? 

What is the worst-case time complexity of the iterative approach of a binary search?

Binary search works by comparing the target element with the values on the first and the last index of a list.

Binary search works by comparing the target element with the values on the first and the last index of a list.

What is the output of the following code?

```python
def binary_search_recursive(data, target, low, high):
 if low > high:
 	return False
 else:
 mid = (low + high) // 2
 if target < data[mid]:
 	return binary_search_recursive(data, target, low, mid-1)
 else:
 	return binary_search_recursive(data, target, mid+1, high)
data = [2,4,5,7,8,9]
target = 2
print(binary_search_recursive(data, target, 0, 5))

```

What is the output of the following code?
<pre><code class="language-python">def binary_search_recursive(data, target, low, high):
