Faster than binary search for ordered list

Question

is there an algorithm that is faster than binary search, for searching in sorted values of array?

in my case, I have a sorted values (could be any type values) in an

Answer 1

You can always put them in a hash table, then search will be O(1). It will be memory intensive though and if you keep adding items, the hash table might need to be re-bucketed. Re-bucketing is O(n) but it will get amortized to O(1). It essentially depends on whether you can afford that space and the potential cache misses.
