Array.BinarySearch<T> Method (array<T[], T)

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Searches an entire one-dimensional sorted Array for a specific element, using the IComparable<T> generic interface implemented by each element of the Array and by the specified object.

Namespace:  System
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function BinarySearch(Of T) ( _
    array As T(), _
    value As T _
) As Integer
public static int BinarySearch<T>(
    T[] array,
    T value
)

Type Parameters

  • T
    The type of the elements of the array.

Parameters

  • array
    Type: array<T[]
    The sorted one-dimensional, zero-based Array to search.
  • value
    Type: T
    The object to search for.

Return Value

Type: System.Int32
The index of the specified value in the specified array, if value is found. If value is not found and value is less than one or more elements in array, a negative number which is the bitwise complement of the index of the first element that is larger than value. If value is not found and value is greater than any of the elements in array, a negative number which is the bitwise complement of (the index of the last element plus 1).

Exceptions

Exception Condition
ArgumentNullException

array is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

InvalidOperationException

value does not implement the IComparable<T> generic interface, and the search encounters an element that does not implement the IComparable<T> generic interface.

Remarks

If the Array does not contain the specified value, the method returns a negative integer. You can apply the bitwise complement operator (~) to the negative result (in Visual Basic, Xor the negative result with -1) to produce an index. If this index is greater than or equal to the size of the array, there are no elements larger than value in the array. Otherwise, it is the index of the first element that is larger than value.

Either value or every element of array must implement the IComparable<T> generic interface, which is used for comparisons. The elements of array must already be sorted in increasing value according to the sort order defined by the IComparable<T> implementation; otherwise, the result might be incorrect.

NoteNote:

If value does not implement the IComparable<T> generic interface, the elements of array are not tested for IComparable<T> before the search begins. An exception is thrown if the search encounters an element that does not implement IComparable<T>.

Duplicate elements are allowed. If the Array contains more than one element equal to value, the method returns the index of only one of the occurrences, and not necessarily the first one.

nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) can always be compared with any other reference type; therefore, comparisons with nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) do not generate an exception. When sorting, nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) is considered to be less than any other object.

NoteNote:

For every element tested, value is passed to the appropriate IComparable<T> implementation, even if value is nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). That is, the IComparable<T> implementation determines how a given element compares to nulla null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

This method is an O(log n) operation, where n is the Length of array.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the Sort<T>(array<T[]) generic method overload and the BinarySearch<T>(array<T[], T) generic method overload. An array of strings is created, in no particular order.

The array is displayed, sorted, and displayed again. Arrays must be sorted in order to use the BinarySearch method.

NoteNote:

The calls to the Sort and BinarySearch generic methods do not look any different from calls to their nongeneric counterparts, because Visual Basic, C#, and C++ infer the type of the generic type parameter from the type of the first argument.

The BinarySearch<T>(array<T[], T) generic method overload is then used to search for two strings, one that is not in the array and one that is. The array and the return value of the BinarySearch method are passed to the ShowWhere generic method, which displays the index value if the string is found, and otherwise the elements the search string would fall between if it were in the array. The index is negative if the string is not n the array, so the ShowWhere method takes the bitwise complement (the ~ operator in C# and Visual C++, Xor -1 in Visual Basic) to obtain the index of the first element in the list that is larger than the search string.
