C++ Program to Implement a Binary Search Algorithm for a Specific Search Sequence


Code:

#include    iostream

using namespace std;

// A function implementing Binary search on a sorted array.
int BinarySearch(int a[], int start, int end, int item, int iter)
{
int i, mid;
iter++;
// Assigning middle of the array.
mid = start + (end-start+1)/2;
// If value is less than value at start index more than end index then item is not in the array. 
if(item > a[end] || item < a[start] || mid == end)
{
cout<<"\nNot found";
return -1;
}
// Return the mid index.
else if(item == a[mid])
{
return mid;
}
// Return the start index.
else if(item == a[start])
{
return start;
}
// Return the end index.
else if(item == a[end])
{
return end;
}
// According to the item value choose the partion to proceed further.
else if(item > a[mid])
BinarySearch(a, mid, 19, item, iter);
else
BinarySearch(a, start, mid, item, iter);
}

int main()
{
int n, i, flag=0, Bindex, a[20]={1, 9, 18, 24, 27, 35, 38, 41, 49, 53, 55, 66, 67, 72, 75, 77, 81, 89, 90, 97};
cout<<"\nEnter the number of element in the search sequence: ";
cin>>n;
int s[n];
for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
cin>>s[i];

// Get the index of the first value in the search sequence found in data set array.
Bindex = BinarySearch(a, 0, 19, s[0], 0);

if(Bindex == -1)
{
// if return index is -1 then not found.
cout<<"\nNot found.";
return 0;
}
else
{
// If first value found then check for others sequentially.
for(i = Bindex; i < n+Bindex; i++)
if(a[i] != s[i-Bindex])
flag = 5;

if(flag == 5)
cout<<"\nNot found.";
else
cout<<"\nSequence found between index "<
}

return 0;
}


Output:

Case 1:
Enter the number of element in the search sequence: 3
35
38
41

Sequence found between index 5 and 8.

Case 2:
Enter the number of element in the search sequence: 3
35
38
40

Not found.
