Need help with SML/ML/MPL I need to write binarySearch function that recursively implements the binary search algorithm to search a sorted integer list for a specified integer and returns true if it is found, false otherwise.  For example, binarySearch ([100,200,300,400,500], 200) returns true, whereas binarySearch([100,200,300,400,500], 299) returns false.

Question

Need help with SML/ML/MPL I need to write binarySearch function that recursively implements the binary search algorithm to search a sorted integer list for a specified integer and returns true if it is found, false otherwise.  For example, binarySearch ([100,200,300,400,500], 200) returns true, whereas binarySearch([100,200,300,400,500], 299) returns false. Hint: Write a helper function mid that returns a tuple (index, value) representing the middle value in a list. For example, mid [10, 2, 40, 8, 22] returns (2,40) because the value 40 at index 2 is the middle value in the list. Similarly, mid [10, 20] would return (1, 20). Use mid in conjunction with slice to implement binarySearch.

  1. A sml binarySearch function that recursively implements the binary search algorithm to search a sorted integer list for a specified integer and returns true if it is found, false otherwise.  For example, binarySearch ([100,200,300,400,500], 200) returns true, whereas binarySearch([100,200,300,400,500], 299) returns false. Hint: Write a helper function mid that returns a tuple (index, value) representing the middle value in a list. For example, mid [10, 2, 40, 8, 22] returns (2,40) because the value 40 at index 2 is the middle value in the list. Similarly, mid [10, 20] would return (1, 20). Use mid in conjunction with slice to implement binarySearch.
