binary search function c++ array with while code example
Example 1: binary search program c++
using namespace std;
// This program performs a binary search through an array, must be sorted to work
int binarySearch(int array[], int size, int value)
{
int first = 0, // First array element
last = size - 1, // Last array element
middle, // Mid point of search
position = -1; // Position of search value
bool found = false; // Flag
while (!found && first <= last)
{
middle = (first + last) / 2; // Calculate mid point
if (array[middle] == value) // If value is found at mid
{
found = true;
position = middle;
}
else if (array[middle] > value) // If value is in lower half
last = middle - 1;
else
first = middle + 1; // If value is in upper half
}
return position;
}
int main ()
{
const int size = 5; // size initialization
int array[size] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // declare array of size 10
int value; // declare value to be searched for
int result; // declare variable that will be returned after binary search
cout << "What value would you like to search for? "; // prompt user to enter value
cin >> value;
result = binarySearch(array, size, value);
if (result == -1) // if value isn't found display this message
cout << "Not found\n";
else // If value is found, displays message
cout << "Your value is in the array.\n";
return 0;
}
Example 2: binary search function in c++
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;
