BJP3 Self-Check 13.22: binarySearch4

Language/Type: Java binary search searching
Author: Roy McElmurry (on 2013/04/01)

Suppose we are performing a binary search on a sorted array called numbers initialized as follows:

// index           0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9  10  11  12  13
int[] numbers = {-30, -9, -6, -4, -2, -1,  0,  2,  4, 10, 12, 17, 22, 30};

// search for the value -5
int index = binarySearch(numbers, -5);

Write the indexes of the elements that would be examined by the binary search (the mid values in our algorithm's code) and write the value that would be returned from the search. Assume that we are using the binary search algorithm shown in chapter 13 of the Building Java Programs 3rd Edition textbook.

indexes examined
value returned
