public class BinarySearch
{
   public static void main(String args[])
   {
       int n, i, search, first, last, middle;
       int arr[] = new int[50];
       Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
	   
       System.out.print("Enter Total Number of Elements: ");
       n = scan.nextInt();
	   
       System.out.print("Enter Numbers of " +n+ " Elements : ");
       for(i=0; i<n; i++)
       {
           arr[i] = scan.nextInt();
       }
	   
       System.out.print("\nEnter a Number to Search: ");
       search = scan.nextInt();
	   
       first = 0;
       last = n-1;
       middle = (first+last)/2;
	   
       while(first <= last)
       {
           if(arr[middle] < search)
           {
               first = middle+1;
           }
           else if(arr[middle] == search)
           {
               System.out.print(search+ "\n Found at Location " +middle);
               break;
           }
           else
           {
               last = middle - 1;
           }
           middle = (first+last)/2;
       }
       if(first > last)
       {
           System.out.print("Not Found..!! " +search+ " is not Present in the List.");
