How to Search in a Sorted Array?

In a sorted array, the search operation can be performed by using binary search.

Search Operation  in a sorted array

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to implement binary search in sorted array
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
int binarySearch(int arr[], int low, int high, int key)
{
    if (high < low)
        return -1;
    int mid = (low + high) / 2; /*low + (high - low)/2;*/
    if (key == arr[mid])
        return mid;
    if (key > arr[mid])
        return binarySearch(arr, (mid + 1), high, key);
    return binarySearch(arr, low, (mid - 1), key);
}
  
/* Driver code */
int main()
{
    // Let us search 3 in below array
    int arr[] = { 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 };
    int n, key;
  
    n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    key = 10;
  
    // Function call
    cout << "Index: " << binarySearch(arr, 0, n - 1, key)
         << endl;
    return 0;
}

Output

Index: 5

Time Complexity: O(log(n)) Using Binary Search
Auxiliary Space: O(log(n)) due to recursive calls, otherwise iterative version uses Auxiliary Space of O(1).

How to Insert in a Sorted Array?

In a sorted array, a search operation is performed for the possible position of the given element by using Binary search, and then an insert operation is performed followed by shifting the elements. And in an unsorted array, the insert operation is faster as compared to the sorted array because we don’t have to care about the position at which the element is placed.

Insert Operation in sorted array

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to implement insert operation in
// an sorted array.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Inserts a key in arr[] of given capacity. n is current
// size of arr[]. This function returns n+1 if insertion
// is successful, else n.
int insertSorted(int arr[], int n, int key, int capacity)
{
    // Cannot insert more elements if n is already
    // more than or equal to capacity
    if (n >= capacity)
        return n;
  
    int i;
    for (i = n - 1; (i >= 0 && arr[i] > key); i--)
        arr[i + 1] = arr[i];
  
    arr[i + 1] = key;
  
    return (n + 1);
}
  
/* Driver code */
int main()
{
    int arr[20] = { 12, 16, 20, 40, 50, 70 };
    int capacity = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int n = 6;
    int i, key = 26;
  
    cout << "\nBefore Insertion: ";
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
        cout << arr[i] << " ";
  
    // Function call
    n = insertSorted(arr, n, key, capacity);
  
    cout << "\nAfter Insertion: ";
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
        cout << arr[i] << " ";
  
    return 0;
}

Output

Array before deletion
10 20 30 40 50 

Array after deletion
10 20 40 50 

Time Complexity: O(N). In the worst case all elements may have to be moved
Auxiliary Space: O(log N). An implicit stack will be used
