Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
In a binary search implementation, what is the role of the 'low' and 'high' variables?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that a binary search is used to find a specific value in a sorted array.
Step 2: The 'low' variable represents the starting index of the current range of the array being searched.
Step 3: The 'high' variable represents the ending index of the current range of the array being searched.
Step 4: Initially, 'low' is set to the first index (0) and 'high' is set to the last index (length of array - 1).
Step 5: During each step of the search, the middle index is calculated using 'low' and 'high'.
Step 6: If the value at the middle index is not the target, 'low' or 'high' is adjusted to narrow down the search range.
Step 7: This process continues until the target value is found or the range is empty.
