The 1 year Anniversary
===========================================
This March, CodeChef completes its 1 year anniversary!!! We've come a long way in the year that's gone by and have a had a lot of fun the whole while.
Make sure you check out CodeChef.com on the 1st of March to find out what we've planned in celebration of the anniversary. :)
===========================================
Topic of the month - Binary Search Techniques
===========================================
Overview
Many a time, problem that would time out on using an algorithm that is linear in time, can be solved if we use an algorithm with a logarithmic time complexity. Binary search is an effective technique that
can be used, mainly on sorted elements, to achieve a lower time complexity. A short tutorial on binary search techniques can be found here .
This tutorial has been provided by Pratik Tandel you guys may know him as pr0ton .
