Assignment 1 - Binary Search Practice
This assignment is a part of the course "Data Structures and Algorithms in Python".
In this assignment, you'll get to practice some of the concepts and skills covered in the following notebooks:
As you go through this notebook, you will find a ??? in certain places. To complete this assignment, you must replace all the ??? with appropriate values, expressions or statements to ensure that the notebook runs properly end-to-end.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Make sure to run all the code cells, otherwise you may get errors like
NameError
for undefined variables. - Do not change variable names, delete cells or disturb other existing code. It may cause problems during evaluation.
- In some cases, you may need to add some code cells or new statements before or after the line of code containing the ???.
- Since you'll be using a temporary online service for code execution, save your work by running
jovian.commit
at regular intervals. - Questions marked (Optional) will not be considered for evaluation, and can be skipped. They are for your learning.

If you are stuck, you can ask for help on the community forum: https://jovian.ai/forum/c/data-structures-and-algorithms-in-python/assignment-1/87 . You can get help with errors or ask for hints, but please don't ask for OR share the full working answer code on the forum.
How to run the code and save your work
The recommended way to run this notebook is to click the "Run" button at the top of this page, and select "Run on Binder". This will run the notebook on mybinder.org, a free online service for running Jupyter notebooks.
This tutorial is an executable Jupyter notebook. You can run this tutorial and experiment with the code examples in a couple of ways: using free online resources (recommended) or on your computer.
Option 1: Running using free online resources (1-click, recommended)
The easiest way to start executing the code is to click the Run button at the top of this page and select Run on Binder. You can also select "Run on Colab" or "Run on Kaggle", but you'll need to create an account on Google Colab or Kaggle to use these platforms.
Option 2: Running on your computer locally
To run the code on your computer locally, you'll need to set up Python, download the notebook and install the required libraries. We recommend using the Conda distribution of Python. Click the Run button at the top of this page, select the Run Locally option, and follow the instructions.
Saving your work
Before staring the assignment, let's save a snapshot of the assignment to your Jovian profile, so that you can access it later, and continue your work.
!pip install jovian --upgrade --quiet
