Topics

  • Binary search (new)
  • Data abstraction (newish)
  • Tracing (old)
  • No others have been requested.

Sample in-class binary-search question

Given the following vector and call to binary-search, report on the values of lb, ub, and midpoint at every recursive call until the value is found or not found.

Sample SoLA binary-search question

As you’ve observed, when there are multiple elements with the same key, binary-search returns the first one it finds. Rewrite binary-search so that it returns the first of the set of matching elements. You must still use a divide-and-conquer approach; you may not simply step backwards one-by-one through the vector.
