Solution: Find the Floor and Ceil of a Number in a Sorted Array
Explore methods to find the floor and ceiling of a number in a sorted array. Understand the naive linear search approach and a more efficient binary search solution, which reduces time complexity to logarithmic. Learn to implement and explain these strategies to optimize array search problems.
Solution 1
The naive approach to this problem would be:
- Traverse the array starting from the 0th
indexto the lastindex. - Compare value at each index
arr[i]with the given inputinteger. - When you reach the maximum value lesser than equal to
