 /**
- * A iterative version of a ternary search algorithm This is better way to
- * implement the ternary search, because a recursive version adds some overhead
- * to a stack. But in java the compile can transform the recursive version to
- * iterative implicitly, so there are no much differences between these two
- * algorithms
+ * An iterative implementation of the Ternary Search algorithm.
  *

- * Worst-case performance Θ(log3(N)) Best-case performance O(1) Average
- * performance Θ(log3(N)) Worst-case space complexity O(1)
+ * Ternary search is a divide-and-conquer algorithm that splits the array into three parts
+ * instead of two, as in binary search. This implementation is iterative, reducing the overhead
+ * associated with recursive function calls. However, the recursive version can also be optimized
+ * by the Java compiler to resemble the iterative version, resulting in similar performance.
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Worst-case performance: Θ(log3(N))<br>
+ * Best-case performance: O(1)<br>
+ * Average performance: Θ(log3(N))<br>
+ * Worst-case space complexity: O(1)
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * This class implements the {@link SearchAlgorithm} interface, providing a generic search method
+ * for any comparable type.
