* Implemented Exponential Search with binary search for improved performance on large sorted arrays. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Added type hints and doctests for binary_search and exponential_search functions. Improved code documentation and ensured testability. * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci * Update and rename Exponential_Search.py to exponential_search.py * [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci --------- Co-authored-by: pre-commit-ci[bot] <66853113+pre-commit-ci[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
