Implement a binary search of a sorted array of integers Using pseudo-code.

# Here's the pseudocode for binary search, modified for searching in an array. The inputs are the array, which we call array; the number n of elements in array; and target, the number being searched for. The output is the index in array of target:

    1.Let min = 0 and max = n-1.
    2. Compute guess as the average of max and min, rounded down (so that it is an integer).
    3. If array[guess] equals target, then stop. You found it! Return guess.
    4. If the guess was too low, that is, array[guess] < target, then set min = guess + 1.
    5. Otherwise, the guess was too high. Set max = guess - 1.
    6. Go back to step 2.

        int mid = l + (h-l)/2;

        if(arr[mid] == key){
            return mid;
        }

        else if(arr[mid] > key){
            return binarySearch(arr, l, mid-1, key);
        }

        else if(arr[mid] < key){
            return binarySearch(arr,mid+1, h, key);
        }
    }       

    return -1;
}

int main(){
    int arr[] = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10};
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
    int key = 7;

    int result = binarySearch(arr,0,n-1,key);

    (result==-1)
        ? cout << "Element is not found in the array" << endl
        : cout << "Element is found at index " << result;

    return 0;

}

Binary search

function binarySearchRicorsivo(array A, int p, int r, int v)
    if p > r
      return -1
     if v < A[p] or v > A[r]
       return -1
     q= (p+r)/2
     if A[q] == v
       return q
     else if A[q] > v
       return binarySearchRicorsivo(A,p,q-1,v)
     else
