The C++ function std::algorithm::binary_search() tests whether value exists in sorted sequence or not. It use operator< for comparison.
DeclarationFollowing is the declaration for std::algorithm::binary_search() function form std::algorithm header.
C++98template <class ForwardIterator, class T> bool binary_search(ForwardIterator first, ForwardIterator last, const T& val);Parameters
first − Forward iterators to the initial positions of the searched sequence.
last − Forward iterators to the final positions of the searched sequence.
val − Value to search for in the range.
Returns true if value exists otherwise false.
ExceptionsThrows exception if either element comparison or an operation on an iterator throws exception.
Please note that invalid parameters cause undefined behavior.
Time complexityLogarithmic in the distance between first and last.
ExampleThe following example shows the usage of std::algorithm::binary_search() function.
#include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main(void) { vector<int> v = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; bool result; result = binary_search(v.begin(), v.end(), 3); if (result == true) cout << "Element 3 exist in vector." << endl; v[2] = 10; result = binary_search(v.begin(), v.end(), 3); if (result == false) cout << "Element 3 doesn't exist in vector." << endl; return 0; }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Element 3 exist in vector. Element 3 doesn't exist in vector.
