Complete the previous exercises in this chapter if you haven’t done so already.
Open CardDriverTwo.java and add the following method.
public static int binarySearch(Card[] cards, Card target){
int low = 0;
int high = cards.length - 1;
while (low <= high){
int mid = (low + high)/2;
int comp = cards[mid].compareTo(target);
if(comp == 0){
return mid;
}
else if (comp < 0) {
low = mid + 1;
}
else {
high = mid - 1;
}
}
return -1;
}
Modify main so that it calls binarySearch rather than search.
int location = binarySearch(cards, theCard);
Compile and run the program.
