About IBM
Binary Search Algorithm:
public class BinarySearch {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] input= {-22,-15,1,7, 20,35,55};
System.out.println(search(input,14));
}
public static int search(int[] a, int k)
{
int low=0;int high=a.length-1;
while(low<=high)
{
int mid=(low+high)/2;
if(a[mid]==k)
{
return mid;
}
else if(a[mid]<k)
{
low=mid+1;
}
else
{
high=mid-1;
}
}
return -1;
}
}
16. The order of execution of the test cases would be
test3
test1
test2
test4
The reason why the test case 3 would execute first is because, we didn’t mention the priority for test case 3 so the default priority would be 0
and it will execute first.
Cool
7. Difference between final and finally
1. final is a keyword which can be assigned to either a variable or a method or a class
If we declare a variable as final then we have to initialize the final variable at the time of declaration and the value cannot be changed once initialized
If we declare a method as final, it cannot be overridden in its sub class.
If we declare a class as final then it cannot be sub-classed.
2. finally is a block which is used along with try catch block. We place the code which we want to get executed compulsory after the try catch block. Mostly it is a good practice to write the cleanup code in the finally block.
