Welcome to today's lesson! We're diving into Binary Search, a clever technique for locating specific elements within a sorted list. We can find the targeted item by repeatedly dividing the search interval in half. It's akin to flipping through a dictionary— instead of going page by page, you'd start in the middle, then narrow down the section in half until you find your desired word.

Binary Search begins at the midpoint of a sorted list, halving the search area at each step until it locates the target. For example, if looking for the number 8 in a sorted list ranging from 1 to 10, we would start at 5. Since 8 is larger than the midpoint, we narrow the search to the second half of the list, leaving us with numbers 6 to 10. In this new sublist, the middle number is 8, and thus, we've found our target. This efficient approach significantly reduces the number of comparisons needed compared to a linear search.

Let's see how Binary Search can be implemented in C#, taking a recursive approach. This process involves a function calling itself—with a base case in place to prevent infinite loops—and a recursive case to solve smaller parts of the problem.
