When to use Ternary Search
- When you have a large ordered array or list and need to find the position of a specific value.
- When you need to find the maximum or minimum value of a function.
- When you need to find bitonic point in a bitonic sequence.
- When you have to evaluate a quadratic expression
Ternary Search
Computer systems use different methods to find specific data. There are various search algorithms, each better suited for certain situations. For instance, a binary search divides information into two parts, while a ternary search does the same but into three equal parts. It’s worth noting that ternary search is only effective for sorted data. In this article, we’re going to uncover the secrets of Ternary Search – how it works, why it’s faster in some situations.
