Explanation of Solution
Binary search
The binary search algorithm is used to find an item in an array and the search array should be in the sorted order.
- The searching is started in the middle of the array.
- In the searching process, the algorithm finds an item or eliminates half of the array in each comparison.
- If the search item is less than the middle item, then it eliminates the second half of the array, and it continues to search in the first half of the array.
- If the search item is greater than the middle item, then it eliminates the first half of the array, and it continues to search in the second half of the array.
- Once again, it examines the middle and repeats the above steps to find an item.
- If the middle item is equal to search item, then the searching is stopped...

- Problem2 Write a program that display the position of a given element in an array. You should print the index (i.e. the position) of the element. If the element appears more than one time than you should print all its positions. The size of the array should be entered by the user. If the element does not occur then you should display element not found. Sample1: Enter the size of the array: 5 Enter an array of size 5: 44 5 13 44 67 Enter the element to find: 44 44 is found at position 44 is found at position 44 occurs 2 time(s) Sample2: Enter the size of the array: 4 Enter an array of size 4: 12 150 17 20 Enter the element: 18 18 is not foundarrow_forward8. Repetition Use Python Language Write a method that takes in an array as a parameter and counts the repetition of each element. That is, if an element has appeared in the array more than once, then its 'repetition' is its number of occurrences. The method returns true if there are at least two elements with the same number of 'repetition'. Otherwise, return false. Input: {4,5,6,6,4,3,6,4} Output: True Explanation: Two numbers repeat in this array: 4 and 6. 4 has a repetition of 3, 6 has a repetition of 3. Since two numbers have the same repetition output is True. Input: {3,4,6,3,4,7,4,6,8,6,6} Output: False Explanation: Three numbers repeat in this array:3,4 and 6 .3 has a repetition of 2, 4 has a repetition of 3, 6 has a repetition of 4. Since no two numbers have the same repetition output is False.arrow_forward
