C programming code for binary search


#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
int c, first, last, middle, n, search, array[100];

printf("Enter number of elements\n");
scanf("%d",&n);

printf("Enter %d integers\n", n);

for ( c = 0 ; c < n ; c++ )
scanf("%d",&array[c]);

printf("Enter value to find\n");
scanf("%d",&search);

first = 0;
last = n - 1;
middle = (first+last)/2;

while( first <= last )
{
if ( array[middle] < search )
first = middle + 1;
else if ( array[middle] == search )
{
printf("%d found at location %d.\n", search, middle+1);
break;
}
else
last = middle - 1;

middle = (first + last)/2;
}
if ( first > last )
printf("Not found! %d is not present in the list.\n", search);

return 0;
}
