Binary Search in Sorted Array

Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

int binary_search(uint8_t *arr, uint8_t n, uint8_t key) {
    // Your logic here
    uint8_t left = 0;
    uint8_t right = n-1;
    uint8_t med = 0;

    while(left <= right)
    {
        med = (right - left) / 2 + left;

        if(key > *(arr + med))
        {
            left = med + 1;
        }
        else if (key < *(arr + med))
        {
            right = med - 1;
        }
        else
        {
            return med;
        }

    }
    return -1;
}

int main() {
    uint8_t n, key;
    scanf("%hhu", &n);
    uint8_t arr[100];

    for (uint8_t i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        scanf("%hhu", &arr[i]);
    }
    scanf("%hhu", &key);

    int index = binary_search(arr, n, key);
    printf("%d", index);
    return 0;
}
