Simple Binary search code example in cpp

3 comments
Write a cpp program which takes some elements in an array and a Key in variable then program use Binary Search c++ Algorithm to find the key.
Concept used:
Functions, loop, and if-else statements in c++

Program Explanation:
Program has two functions


  • One to sort array using bubble sort
  • Second to apply Binary Search on array
  • As it is necessary condition to sort the array before applying binary search in main after taking some elements as input in array. 
  • Array passes to bubble sort function to sort the array. 
  • After sorting array passes to Binary Search function which is of 'bool' type if element found in array it returns true else false to main function.

    C++ code for Binary Search

#include<iostream>
 using namespace std;

  // Prototypes of Functions
  void bubbleSort(int array[], int size);
  bool binarySearch(int array[], int size,int key);

  int main(){
      cout<<"Enter 5 numbers randomly : "<<endl;

      // Size can be change by replacing 5
      int array[5]; //Declaring array
     for(int i=0; i<5; i++)
      {
       cout<<"\t";  cin>>array[i]; // Initializing array
      }

      //Passing Arrary for Sorting
       bubbleSort(array,5);

    // Array has Sorted At This Point
    cout<<"\n\t\t\tEnter Key To Search: ";
    int key;
    cin>>key;

//Passing Array, size and key To Search Key
int result=binarySearch(array,5,key);

if(result==1)
cout<<"\n\t\t\tKey Found in Array "<<endl;
else
cout<<"\n\t\t\tKey NOT Found in Array "<<endl;


return 0;
}

void bubbleSort(int array[], int size){
      cout<<"  Input array is: "<<endl;
      for(int j=0; j<size; j++)
      {
       //Displaying Array
       cout<<"\t\t\tValue at "<<j<<" Index: "<<array[j]<<endl;
      }
      cout<<endl;
    // Bubble Sort Starts Here
     int temp;
     for(int i2=0; i2<size; i2++)
   {
     for(int j=0; j<size-1; j++)
     {
        //Swapping element in if statement
           if(array[j]>array[j+1])
       {
        temp=array[j];
        array[j]=array[j+1];
        array[j+1]=temp;
       }
     }
   }
   // Displaying Sorted array
      cout<<"  Sorted Array is: "<<endl;
     for(int i3=0; i3<size; i3++)
   {
    cout<<"\t\t\tValue at "<<i3<<" Index: "<<array[i3]<<endl;
   }
}// Sort Function Ends Here

bool binarySearch(int array[],int size, int key){
         int start=1, end=size;
         int mid=(start+end)/2;

  while(start<=end&&array[mid]!=key){
        if(array[mid]<key){
          start=mid+1;
      }
     else{
          end=mid-1;
          }
       mid=(start+end)/2;
     }// While Loop End

   if(array[mid]==key)
    return true; //Returnig to main
    else
   return false;//Returnig to main

   cout<<"\n\n\n";
}// binarySearch Function Ends Here

Recommended: For beginners to keep the program simple array size is small. Change the array size dry run the code on paper it will be very helpful to understand quick.

    2. Didn't work for me at first. Replaced the binary search function with a negative end and only return true if key was found and that worked. Everything else was awesome though, thanks.
