Binary Search

Return the index of a target in a sorted array, or -1 if not found, using binary search.

Examples

  • binarySearch([1,3,5,7,9], 7) → 3

Constraints

  • Keep the required function name so the tests can find it
  • Return a value instead of only logging it
  • Do not mutate inputs unless the challenge asks you to
