Binary Search
The binary search is the standard method for searching
through a sorted array. It is
much more efficient than a linear search, where we pass
through the array elements in
turn until the target is found. It does require that the
elements be in order.
The binary search repeatedly divides the array in two, each
time restricting the search to
the half that should contain the target element.
In this example, we search for the integer 5 in the 10-
element array below:
2 : 5 : 6 : 8 : 10 : 12 : 15 : 18 : 20 : 21
Loop 1 - Look at whole array
Low index = 0, high index = 9
Choose element with index (0+9)/2 = 4
Compare value (10) to target
10 is greater than 5, so the target must be in the lower
half of the array
Set high index = (4-1) = 3
Loop 2
Low index = 0, high index = 3
Choose element with index (0+3)/2 = 1
Compare value (5) to target
5 is equal to target
Target was found, index = 1
