For a given array A = [5, 12, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30] how many middle values are required to find element 24 using binary search and what are those middle values code example

Example: Implement a binary search of a sorted array of integers Using pseudo-code.

# Here's the pseudocode for binary search, modified for searching in an array. The inputs are the array, which we call array; the number n of elements in array; and target, the number being searched for. The output is the index in array of target:

    1.Let min = 0 and max = n-1.
    2. Compute guess as the average of max and min, rounded down (so that it is an integer).
    3. If array[guess] equals target, then stop. You found it! Return guess.
    4. If the guess was too low, that is, array[guess] < target, then set min = guess + 1.
    5. Otherwise, the guess was too high. Set max = guess - 1.
    6. Go back to step 2.
