Introduction to Extreme Brewing

Binary brewing: where art meets algorithm.

				// Binary brewing is not for the faint of heart
				var extreme = true;
				if (extreme) {
					console.log('You are now an extreme binary brewer');
					// Proceed with caution...
				}

Now that we've established that binary brewing is the pinnacle of coding achievement, let's dive into some real-world examples.

Example 1: Brewing a Simple Binary Search

Binary search: the ultimate algorithm for finding what's not there.

				// Binary search in action
				var arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];
				var target = 7;
				var low = 0;
				var high = arr.length - 1;
				while (low <= high) {
					var mid = Math.floor((low + high) / 2);
					if (arr[mid] === target) {
						console.log('Found it!');
						break;
					} else if (arr[mid] < target) {
						low = mid + 1;
					} else {
						high = mid - 1;
					}
				}
				if (low > high) {
					console.log('Not found');
				}

And that's it! A simple yet elegant solution to a problem that's been bugging you for weeks.

Example 2: Brewing a Complex Algorithm

When in doubt, just add more recursion.

				// Complex algorithm in action
				function recursiveBrewing(arr, target) {
					if (arr[0] === target) {
						return true;
					} else if (arr.length === 1) {
						return false;
					} else {
						var mid = Math.floor(arr.length / 2);
						return recursiveBrewing(arr.slice(0, mid), target) || recursiveBrewing(arr.slice(mid + 1), target);
					}
				}

A little bit of recursion and we're back in business!

And that's it for today's chapter! Remember, practice makes perfect, so go out there and brew some binaries!
