+# Exponential Search
+
+In computer science, an exponential search is an algorithm.There are numerous ways to implement this with the most common being to determine a range that the search key
+resides in and performing a binary search within that range. This takes O(log i) where i is the position of the search key in the list, if the search key is in the list,
+or the position where the search key should be, if the search key is not in the list.Exponential search can also be used to search in bounded lists. Exponential search 
+can even out-perform more traditional searches for bounded lists, such as binary search, when the element being searched for is near the beginning of the array.

+## Complexity
+
+**Time Complexity**: `O(log i)` -  i is the index of the element being searched for in the list
