IArrayList.BinarySearchRange

Syntax

BinarySearchRange(

Value: Variant;

Comparer: IComparer;

Index: Integer;

Count: Integer): Integer;

Parameters

Value. Value that should be found.

Comparer. An object that compares array elements.

Index. Initial index of the range, where the search is executed.

Count. Number of the elements that are used in search.

Description

The BinarySearchRange method executes binary search of the element in array range.

Comments

Search is executed in the sorted array range. In case of successful search it returns the number of the first found element, otherwise it returns -1.

Example

Sub Main;

Var

ArrayL: IArrayList;

i: Integer;

Begin

ArrayL:=New ArrayList.Create;

For i:=0 To 100 Do

ArrayL.Add(Math.RandBetweenI(0,50));

End For;

ArrayL.Sort(Comparer.IntegerComparer);

i:=ArrayL.BinarySearchRange(5, Comparer.IntegerComparer, 10, ArrayL.Count-20);

End Sub Main;

After executing the example a dynamic array of random numbers is generated. In the midsection of the array, except for first and last 10 elements, the search of the 5 value is executed. In case of successful search, the "i" variable contains the number of the first found element.
