csharp binary search

Code Example - csharp binary search

                
                        // C# implementation of recursive Binary Search
using System;
  
class GFG {

    // arr[l..r], else return -1
    static int binarySearch(int[] arr, int l, int r, int x)
    {
        if (r >= l) {
            int mid = l + (r - l) / 2;
  
            // If the element is present at the
            // middle itself
            if (arr[mid] == x)
                return mid;
  
            // If element is smaller than mid, then
            // it can only be present in left subarray
            if (arr[mid] > x)
                return binarySearch(arr, l, mid - 1, x);
  
            // Else the element can only be present
            // in right subarray
            return binarySearch(arr, mid + 1, r, x);
        }
  
        // We reach here when element is not present
        // in array
        return -1;

    // Driver method to test above
