Typo in the book page 9 Binary Search Code

[Lokesh Jadhav]

In the book on page 9 there is binary search code written in python.
In the while loop you have assigned mid = (low + high) instead of mid = (low + high) / 2.

This is not a major issue but in your future copies if you correct it then it would be great.
I hope this is useful.
The book is amazing and easy to grasp I am enjoying it.

The issue can also be solved by changing

        if guess > item:
            high = mid - 1
        else:
            low = mid + 1

into

        if guess > item:
            high = item - 1
        else:
            low = item + 1
