In a binary search, if the target value is not present in the array, what will be the return value?
  • Step 1: Start with a sorted array and a target value you want to find.
  • Step 2: Use binary search to look for the target value in the array.
  • Step 3: If the target value is found, return its index (position) in the array.
  • Step 4: If the target value is not found after searching the entire array, return -1.
