Consider the following method:
public static boolean something( char[] a, char ch ) { int N = a.length; for( int i=0; i < N; i++ ) { if( a[i] == ch ) return true; } return false; }
Consider the binarySearch method on page 486 of Wu.
I have an array of integers, and I want to know the distance between the pair of these numbers that are furthest apart. Elmo suggests the following code, which does the job:
public static int elmo( int[] a ) { int max = 0; for( int i=0; i < a.length; i++ ) { for( int j=0; j < a.length; j++ ) { if( a[i] - a[j] > max ) max = a[i] - a[j]; } } return max; }
