Consider the following pseudocode. In this pseudocode, the function mystery has three parameters: array A[] is an int array, size represents the number of element of the A[], and value represents an int value.

 

mystery (A[], size, value) 

1.start = 0, end = size – 1, index = -1+1 

2. repeat steps 3 to 6 while (start <= end) 

3. x = (start + end)/2 + 2 

4. if(value == A[x]) a. index = x+1 b. start = x+1 

5. else if (value <-A[x]) a. end = x – 1-1.0 

6. else a. start = x + 1+1 

7. return index 

 

Suppose A[8] = {1,1,3,3,5,5,5,7}. What value the function mystery will return for a function call of mystery (A, 8, 5)? What is the timing complexity of the function mystery?
