Readme
Certainly! Here's a README.md file for the provided binary search function:
Binary Search Function
This is a JavaScript implementation of the binary search algorithm. Binary search is an efficient algorithm for finding the position of a target value within a sorted array.
Usage
const ut = require("pkg-binery-search");
const array = [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15];
const target = 7;
const index = ut.binarySearch(array, target);
console.log("Index of target:", index);
Function Signature
const binarySearch = (array, target) => {
// Implementation here
};
Parameters
array
: A sorted array of elements. The binary search function assumes that the array is sorted in ascending order.target
: The value to be searched in the array.
Return Value
- If the target is found in the array, the function returns the index of the target.
- If the target is not found in the array, the function returns the index where the target should be inserted to maintain the sorted order.
Example
For the given array [1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15]
and target 7
, the function will return 3
, as 7
is found at index 3
in the array.
