/*
To perform binary search on float array use
int binarySearch(float[] b, float value) of Arrays class. This method searches
the float array for specified float value using binary search algorithm.
Please note that the float array MUST BE SORTED before it can be searched
using binarySearch method.
This method returns the index of the value to be searched, if found in the
array.
Otherwise it returns (- (X) - 1)
where X is the index where the the search value would be inserted.
i.e. index of first element that is grater than the search value
or array.length, if all elements of an array are less than the
search value.

float searchValue = 4.74f;
//since 4.74 is present in float array, index of it would be returned
int intResult = Arrays.binarySearch(floatArray,searchValue);
System.out.println("Result of binary search of 4.74 is : " + intResult);
//lets search something which is not in float array !
searchValue = 3.33f;
intResult = Arrays.binarySearch(floatArray,searchValue);
System.out.println("Result of binary search of 3.33 is : " + intResult);
