Examples
Binary Search
fun binary_search(list, item) {
var low = 0;
var high = list.len() - 1;
while low <= high {
var mid = (low + high) / 2;
var guess = list[mid];
printf("low: {}, high: {}, mid: {}, guess: {}", low, high, mid, guess);
if guess == item {
return mid;
} else if guess > item {
high = mid - 1;
} else {
low = mid + 1;
}
}
return nil;
}
var elements = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9];
var search = 7;
printf("element {} is at index: {}", search, binary_search([1, 3, 5, 7, 9], 7));
