Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In binary search, how do you calculate the middle index?
  • Step 1: Identify the low index, which is the starting index of the search range.
  • Step 2: Identify the high index, which is the ending index of the search range.
  • Step 3: Calculate the difference between the high index and the low index by subtracting low from high. This gives you (high - low).
  • Step 4: Divide the result from Step 3 by 2. This gives you the half of the range.
  • Step 5: Add the low index to the result from Step 4. This gives you the middle index: low + (high - low) / 2.
