Binary Search Examples:
using System;
public static class BinarySearch
{
// Assumes 'arr' is in sorted order.
// Iterative implementation of Binary Search
public static int BinarySearchIterative(int[] arr, int num)
{
int mid, low, high;
low = 0;
high = arr.Length - 1;
while(low <= high)
{
mid = (low + high) / 2;
if(num < arr[mid])
{
high = mid - 1;
}
else if(num > arr[mid])
{
low = mid + 1;
}
else
{
return mid;
}
}
return -1;
}
// Recursive implementation of Binary Search
public static int BinarySearchRecursive(int[] arr, int num)
{
return BinarySearchRecursiveAux(arr, num, 0, arr.Length - 1);
}
// Helper method for the recursive approach.
private static int BinarySearchRecursiveAux(int[] arr, int num, int low, int high)
{
int mid = (low + high) / 2;
if(low >= high) return -1;
if (num < arr[mid])
{
return BinarySearchRecursiveAux(arr, num, low, mid - 1);
}
else if (num > arr[mid])
{
return BinarySearchRecursiveAux(arr, num, mid + 1, high);
}
else
{
