"Wolf fence" algorithmEdward Gauss described this simple but very useful and now famous algorithm in a 1982 article for
Communications of the ACM as follows: "There's one wolf in Alaska; how do you find it? First build a fence down the middle of the state, wait for the wolf to howl, determine which side of the fence it is on. Repeat process on that side only, until you get to the point where you can see the wolf."[10] This is implemented e.g. in the
Git version control system as the command
git bisect, which uses the above algorithm to determine which
commit introduced a particular bug.
