Question
Consider the following implementation of binarySearch:
public static bool binarySearch(int[] a, int item) {
int first = 0;
int last = a.length - 1;
while( first <= last) {
int mid = (first + last)/2;
if(a[mid]
item) return true;
else if (a[mid] < item) first = mid + 1;
else
last = mid - 1;
}
return false;
==
}
how many times is the line of code int mid = (first + last)/2; executed when it is
called with a = {2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37} and item = 2?
