% % Search value 'v' in sorted vector 'x' and find index and value % % with respect to vector x that is equal or closest to 'v'. % % % % If more than one value is equal then anyone can be returned % % (this is property of binary search). % % If more than one value is closest then first occurred is returned % % (this is property of linear search). % % % % % % Algorithm % % First binary search is used to find v in x. If not found % % then range obtained by binary search is searched linearly % % to find the closest value. % % % % INPUT: % % x: vector of numeric values, % % x should already be sorted in ascending order % % (e.g. 2,7,20,...120) % % v: numeric value to be search in x % % % % OUTPUT: % % i: index of v with respect to x. % % cv: value that is equal or closest to v in x % % Copyright (c) 2009, Dr. Murtaza Khan % All rights reserved. % % Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without % modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are % met: % % * Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright % notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer. % * Redistributions in binary form must reproduce the above copyright % notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in % the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution % % THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" % AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE % IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE % ARE DISCLAIMED.
