Describe your change:
This pull request adds a recursive implementation of binary search.
While the repository already contains iterative binary search variants, a recursive version was missing.
This addition improves conceptual completeness and aligns with existing recursive search and traversal algorithms already present in the repository.
The implementation includes type hints, doctests, and usage examples in the docstring, following existing project conventions.
