Arrays.binarySearch(short[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, short key) has the following syntax.
public static int binarySearch(short[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, short key)
In the following code shows how to use Arrays.binarySearch(short[] a, int fromIndex, int toIndex, short key) method.
Binary search needs sorted arrays.
/*from w w w. j a va2 s . c o m*/ import java.util.Arrays; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { // initializing sorted short array short shortArr[] = {1,2,15,52,110}; // value to search short searchVal = 15; // entering range of index int retVal = Arrays.binarySearch(shortArr,3,4,searchVal); System.out.println("The index of element 15 is : " + retVal); } }
The code above generates the following result.
