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 s = 0;
    uint8_t e = n;
    uint8_t m = 0;
    int ret = -1;
    
    while (s < e) {
        m = (s + e) / 2;
        if (arr[m] == key) {
            ret = m;
            break;
        } else if (arr[m] < key) {
            s = m;
        } else {
            e = m;
        }
    }
    return ret;
}

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;
}

Solving Approach

it should be sorted array to search with binary search
