Question

Algorithm Binary Search

Input:  L = a1, a2, ... , an list of distinct integers; x integer

Output: p integer

i = 1;

j = n;

found = F;

p = 0;

while i ≤ j and found = F

  m = ⌊i+j2⌋;

if am = x then found = T and p = m

            else if am < x then i = m + 1

                                   else j = m - 1;

return p;

When performing Algorithm Binary Search with input  L = 1,3,5,7,9,11,13 and x = 9, how many times is x compared to an element ai of the list L?
