How do I debug a binary search algorithm?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about debugging a binary search algorithm.
I'm having trouble with my binary search implementation. Can you help me debug it?
Of course! Could you share your code and describe the issue you're facing?
Here's my code: function binarySearch(arr, target) { ... }. It returns -1 even when the target is in the array.
It sounds like there might be an issue with your mid-point calculation or the way you're updating your search boundaries. Can you show me how you're calculating mid?
I'm using let mid = Math.floor((left + right) / 2); but I'm not sure if that's correct.
That part looks good! Make sure you're updating left and right correctly based on the comparison with the target. Can you share that part of the code?
