👉 In the context of mathematics, a "searching" operation is an algorithmic procedure that involves searching for a particular value within a specified range or subset. This can be used to find elements in a set, compare values, or perform other operations on collections. The goal of a searching algorithm is to efficiently locate and process elements within the given range while minimizing the number of comparisons required. For instance, consider the following search function for finding all prime numbers between 2 and n (inclusive): ```
