Binary Search Algorithm implementation in java

Binary Search Algorithm in Java source code

Description

Find the position of specific input value within a sorted array (either descending/ascending).
The algorithm compares the key value with the middle value of array, if the key matches it will return the value or other wise returns -1 value.

Time complexity for binary
Worst : O (log n)
Average : O (log n)

Binary Search Algorithm Computation

int []values = {1,2,5,6,12,25,26,27,30}; // sorted array
