Oct 30, 2008 · 1 Implementing Binary Search Algorithm in Java pseudo-code flow for the Binary Search algorithm:

It's useful to write a search function in such a way that it returns a negative value indicating the insertion point for the new element if the element is not found. Also, using recursion in a binary search is …

Nov 18, 2011 · On x iterations, how long list can the binary search algorithm at max examine? The answer is 2^x. From this we can see that the reverse is that on average the binary search algorithm …

Mar 31, 2009 · A binary search is when you start with the middle of a sorted list, and see whether that's greater than or less than the value you're looking for, which determines whether the value is in the …

Here's an elegant recursive solution if you're: 1) Trying to return the INDEX of the target in the original list being passed in, before it is halved. Getting the target is the easy part. 2) Only want to have to …

In a binary search, we have two comparisons one for greater than and other for less than, otherwise its the mid value. How would you optimize so that we need to check only once? bool binSearch(int...

Oct 19, 2010 · Below is my Generic Binary Search. It works okay with the integers type array (it finds all the elements in it). But the problem arises when I use a string array to find any string data. It runs ok...

A study that was published in 1988 showed that accurate code for binary search was only found in 5 out of 20 textbooks. In 2006, Joshua Bloch wrote that blog post about the bug about calculating the mid …

Jul 13, 2016 · You do know, that binary search requires a sorted array/list to work? It's not the only wrong thing with your algorithm. And BTW, never ever call a variable list or any other built-in type or …

Apr 30, 2015 · For binary search, the array should be arranged in ascending or descending order. In each step, the algorithm compares the search key value with the key value of the middle element of …
