python program to take array input from the user and perform binary search code example
Example: binary search algorithm in python code
def binarySearchAppr (arr, start, end, x):
if end >= start:
mid = start + (end- start)//2
if arr[mid] == x:
return mid
elif arr[mid] > x:
return binarySearchAppr(arr, start, mid-1, x)
else:
return binarySearchAppr(arr, mid+1, end, x)
else:
return -1
arr = sorted(['t','u','t','o','r','i','a','l'])
x ='r'
result = binarySearchAppr(arr, 0, len(arr)-1, x)
if result != -1:
print ("Element is present at index "+str(result))
else:
print ("Element is not present in array")
