Problem: To find an element from a python list using "Binary Search" method. This search is quite different from Linear Search . There we used a loop to traverse and searched for element but here we first sort the list and compare the key value to the mid value of the list if it matches, we found the element or else we split the list into two one half consists of the elements lesser than the mid value and other half consists of the elements greater than the mid value, This process is repeated till we find a match. Code: def binarysearch ( a , k , start , end ): mid = int (( start + end + 0.1 )/ 2 ) if a [ mid ]== k : print ( "number found at position " , mid + 1 ) elif a [ mid ] > k : binarysearch ( a , k , start , mid ) elif a [ mid ] < k : binarysearch (...
