Chapter 9, Problem 4SA
Program Plan Intro
Binary search:
- Binary search is a smart search process that searches for the particular element that is present in the array from the middle towards the left or right until the search element is found.
- The search element is searched from the middle as the elements present in the array needs to present in the sorted order.
- If the search element is larger it will search towards the right of the array.
- If the search element is smaller it will search towards the left of the array.
- The search continues in a narrow way that it searches for the quarter of the array until there are no values left in the array to search or compare.
- The search of the target element is made in the smart way it eliminates a portion of array based on the given element as the array is sorted.

If a sequential search method is searching for a value that is stored in the last element of a 10,000-element array, how many elements will the search code have to read to locate the value?
Sorting is a basic issue with arrays in which the goal is to find the target element in the array. Choose from the following options: False
!!!An unsorted array has the property that each element has a distance of at most k positions from its sorted version. Find the smallest k value. write Code!
