Interpolation search finds a target in a sorted array, but unlike binary search it does

This is algorithm #8 of the 50 Algorithms Every Programmer Should Know series (Searching). You will learn:
The exact problem Interpolation Search solves and the intuition behind it
How it works step by step, with animated diagrams
The real Python code from the book repo, walked line by line
Where it is used in practice, its strengths, and its limits
