Key points
Calculate mid - int mid = low + (high - low) / 2;
if mid is lesser than target increase low by 1 or else mid is greater than target then high decrease by 1
the loop condition - low < = high
take ex : 1,3,5,7,9 target =9
we have to track at point low == high so if its equal to target.
class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
int low=0;
int high = nums.length-1;
while(low<high){
int mid = (low+high)/2;
if(nums[mid]==target) return mid;
else if(nums[mid]<target){
low=mid+1;
}
else{
high=mid-1;
}
}
return -1;
}
}
