[Python] Class Tonight: Week 3 - The Phone Book Search Algorithm

[Trent Robbins]

Hi All,

I'm excited for class tonight!

Class starts at 7 PM and goes until 8:50 PM.

We'll be writing an algorithm tonight that describes the 'phone book'
search method, a way of quickly searching a list of items for a specific
item.

This is an 'algorithm' which is a long word for 'way of doing things'.

*Other things that are algorithms:* tying your shoes, addition, making an
omelet.

The computer science name for phone book search is 'binary search'
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm>.


See you there!
Trent
