Recursive Searching and Sorting

Study Guide Overview

This study guide covers recursive implementations of searching and sorting algorithms. It reviews linear/sequential search and insertion sort, and introduces binary search and merge sort. It also includes iterative code for comparison. Finally, the guide provides a brief overview of potential next steps in computer science education, touching on discrete mathematics, advanced Java concepts (including interfaces, abstract classes, and data structures like linked lists, hash maps, sets, trees, and graphs), and GUI development.
