binary-search
Advanced tools
This is a really tiny, stupid, simple binary search library for Node.JS. We wrote it because existing solutions were bloated and incorrect.
This version is a straight port of the Java version mentioned by Joshua Bloch in his article, Nearly All Binary Searches and Merge Sorts are Broken.
Thanks to Conrad Irwin for, ironically, pointing out a bug.
var bs = require("binary-search");
bs([1, 2, 3, 4], 3, function(a, b) { return a - b; }); // => 2
bs([1, 2, 4, 5], 3, function(a, b) { return a - b; }); // => -3
Be advised that passing in a comparator function is required. Since you're probably using one for your sort function anyway, this isn't a big deal.
This software is released into the public domain.
