How is binary search implemented in different programming languages?

Can you show me how binary search is implemented in Python?

Sure! Here's a simple implementation of binary search in Python:

def binary_search(arr, target):
    left, right = 0, len(arr) - 1
    while left <= right:
        mid = (left + right) // 2
        if arr[mid] == target:
            return mid
        elif arr[mid] < target:
            left = mid + 1
        else:
            right = mid - 1
    return -1

This function takes a sorted array and a target value, returning the index of the target if found, or -1 if not.

What about in Java?

Here's how you can implement binary search in Java:

public class BinarySearch {
    public static int binarySearch(int[] arr, int target) {
        int left = 0, right = arr.length - 1;
        while (left <= right) {
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
            if (arr[mid] == target) {
                return mid;
            }
            if (arr[mid] < target) {
                left = mid + 1;
            } else {
                right = mid - 1;
            }
        }
        return -1;
    }
}

This method works similarly to the Python version.

Can you give me an example in JavaScript?

Absolutely! Here's a binary search implementation in JavaScript:

function binarySearch(arr, target) {
    let left = 0, right = arr.length - 1;
    while (left <= right) {
        const mid = Math.floor((left + right) / 2);
        if (arr[mid] === target) {
            return mid;
        }
        if (arr[mid] < target) {
            left = mid + 1;
        } else {
            right = mid - 1;
        }
    }
    return -1;
}

This function also returns the index of the target or -1 if not found.
