binary search by c++ code example

Example 1: how to do binary search in c++ using STL

// BY shivam kumar KIIT
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
usind namespace std;
int main()
{
	int arr[]={10,2,34,2,5,4,1};
  	sort(arr,arr+7);//sort array in ascending order before using binary search
  	binary_search(arr,arr+7,10);//return 1 as element is found
  	binary_search(arr,arr+7,3);//return 0 as element is not found
  	return 0;
}

Example 2: binary search function in c++

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int binarySearch(int arr[], int p, int r, int num) {
   if (p <= r) {
      int mid = (p + r)/2;
      if (arr[mid] == num)
      return mid ;
      if (arr[mid] > num)
      return binarySearch(arr, p, mid-1, num);
      if (arr[mid] > num)
      return binarySearch(arr, mid+1, r, num);
   }
   return -1;
}
int main(void) {
   int arr[] = {1, 3, 7, 15, 18, 20, 25, 33, 36, 40};
   int n = sizeof(arr)/ sizeof(arr[0]);
   int num = 33;
   int index = binarySearch (arr, 0, n-1, num);
   if(index == -1)
   cout<< num <<" is not present in the array";
   else
   cout<< num <<" is present at index "<< index <<" in the array";
   return 0;
}
