lowerbound
lowerBound refers to a concept used in computer science and mathematics, particularly in the context of algorithms and data structures. It denotes a specific value or condition related to the ordering of elements. In a sorted sequence, the lower bound of a value is typically defined as the first element that is not less than the target value. This means it's either equal to the target value or the first element greater than it.
The concept is frequently employed in searching algorithms, such as binary search. When searching for a value
Beyond searching, lower bound has applications in various algorithmic problems. For instance, in problems involving finding
