javascript 二分法(数组array)_javascript技巧

在Javascript中，我们可以通过prototype关键字为对象添加新的属性或者是方法，下面是一个为Array对象添加二分法查找功能的方法：

Array.prototype.binarySearch = function(obj)
{
var value = 0;
var left = 0;
var right= this.length;
while(left {
var center = Math.floor((left+right)/2);
if(this[center] == obj)
{
value = center;
}
if(obj {
right = center - 1;
}
else
{
left = center + 1;
}
}
alert(value);
}
//如下为测试代码：
function testArrayBinarySearch()
{
var array = new Array();
var key = 678;
var number = 1000;
for (i = 0; i {
array.push(i);
}
array.binarySearch(key);
}
window.onload = function()
{
testArrayBinarySearch();
}

下面是国外的代码

function binarySearch(items, value){
var startIndex = 0,
stopIndex = items.length - 1,
middle = Math.floor((stopIndex + startIndex)/2);
while(items[middle] != value && startIndex //adjust search area（调整查找范围）
if (value stopIndex = middle - 1;
} else if (value > items[middle]){
startIndex = middle + 1;
}
//recalculate middle（重新计算中项索引）
middle = Math.floor((stopIndex + startIndex)/2);
}
//make sure it's the right value（确保返回正确的值）
return (items[middle] != value) ? -1 : middle;
}
