problem with binarysearch algorithm
- by arash
hi friends,the code below belongs to binary search algorithm,user enter numbers in textbox1 and enter the number that he want to fing with binarysearch in textbox2.i have a problem with it,that is when i enter for example 15,21 in textbox1 and enter 15 in textbox2 and put brakpoint on the line i commented below,and i understood that it doesnt put the number in textbox2 in searchnums(commented),for more explanation i comment in code.thanks in advance
public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int searchnums = Convert.ToInt32(textBox2.Text);//the problem is here,the value in textbox2 doesnt exist in searchnums and it has value 0.
int result = binarysearch(searchnums);
MessageBox.Show(result.ToString());
}
public int binarysearch(int searchnum)
{
string[] source = textBox1.Text.Split(',');
int[] nums = new int[source.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < source.Length; i++)
{
nums[i] = Convert.ToInt32(source[i]);
}
int first =0;
int last = nums.Length;
int mid = (int)Math.Floor(nums.Length / 2.0);
while (1<= nums.Length)
{
if (searchnum < nums[mid])
{
last = mid - 1;
}
if (searchnum > nums[mid])
{
first = mid + 1;
}
else
{
return nums[mid];
}
}
return -1;
}
