This article show C/C++ Program for Binary search. Before start let us discuss about binary search.
What is Binary Search?
Binary search is one kind of searching algorithm.It is very important.
C/C++ Code for Binary search
#include #include int main() { clrscr(); int n,i,beg,end,mid,data[20],loc,item; cout<<" \" This program will performs Binary search. \""<<endl<<endl; xx: cout<<"How many numbers ?. Give a integer number."<<endl; cin>>n; if(n<0) { cout<<"Negative number is not allow, Please give a integer number"<<endl<<endl; goto xx; } else if(n==0) { cout<<"0 is not allow"<<endl<<endl; goto xx; } yy: cout<<"What are the elements ?. Give some sorted data"<<endl; for(i=1;i<=n;i++) cin>>data[i]; for(i=1;i<n;i++) if(data[i] > data[i+1]) { cout<<"Non sorted data is not allow.Please give sorted data."<<endl; goto yy; } cout<<"Give a data that you want to search."<<endl; cin>>item; beg=1; end=n; mid=(beg+end)/2; while(data[mid]!=item && beg<=end) { if(item<data[mid]) end=mid-1; else beg=mid+1; mid=(beg+end)/2; } cout<<endl; if(data[mid]==item) { loc=mid; cout<<item<<" is present here ( "; for(i=1;i<=n;i++) cout<<data[i]<<" "; cout<<") and it's position is : "<<loc; } else { cout<<item<<" is not present here ( "; for(i=1;i<=n;i++) cout<<data[i]<<" "; cout<<")"; } getch(); }
