Write C functions to perform the following tasks:

Given a sorted double array x, i=0 to n and a double t, write a function which uses a binary search algorithm to find k such that x[k ¡ 1] < t <= x[k].

Many thanks for your help!

You know we're not going to do it for you, right?

Hi there,

I am a new comer in C. I do need your help.

Write C functions to perform the following tasks:

Given a sorted double array x, i=0 to n and a double t, write a function which uses a binary search algorithm to find k such that x[k ¡ 1] < t <= x[k].

Regarding my question, I can get the result when I defined t and x as integer type, but I couldnt get it through if I defined them as double type. I appreciate your help!!

the code is as follow:

#include <stdio.h>
#define MAX 10
#include "SortSrchEx.h"

void main()
{
	int i, t, x[MAX] = {8 12, 29, 30, 32, 35, 49  54};
	int k = 8; /*  no. of items in the array x[] */

	printf( " ***Binary Search*** \n\n " );
	printf( " The array contains: %d, %d, %d, %d, %d, %d \n", x[0], x[1], x[2],x[3], x[4], x[5] );
	printf( " Tpye a numer, EOF to quit:  " );

	while( scanf( " %d ", &t ) != EOF ){

		i = binsrch( x, k, t );

		if ( i >=0 )
			printf( "%d found, giving %d < %d <= %d\n ", i, x[i-1], t, x[i]);
		else
			printf( " %d not fouond in array\n ", t);

		printf( " Tpye a number, EOF to quit: " );
		
	}
}

The "SortSrchEx.h" is:

#include <stdio.h>

int binsrch(int x[], int lim, int key)
{
	int low, mid, high = lim - 1 ;

	low = 0; 
	while( low <= high ) {   /* Is the array exhausted? */
		
		mid = (low + high)/2; /*  If no, find middle index */

		if ( key > x[mid])  // Is the key here?
			low = mid + 1; // otherwise, increase low
		else if ( key > x[mid-1])
			return (mid);		// If so, return index
		else
			high = mid-1 ;
	}

	return(-1); // not found


}
