Explain a computer science concept in 256 characters or less

This is a submission for DEV Computer Science Challenge v24.06.12: One Byte Explainer.

Explainer

Binary search is like playing "Guess the Number." You start in the middle of a sorted list, check if that's your number, and then decide if you need to look higher or lower. Repeat until you find the number or run out of places to look. Super quick and efficient!
