Binary Search

The program fragment below performs binary search of an integer number in an array that is sorted in a nondescending order: Pascal (file ”sproc.pas”) const MAXN = 10000; var A: array[0..MAXN-1] of integer; N: integer; procedure BinarySearch(x: integer); var p, q, i, L: integer; begin p := 0; {Left border of the search} q := N-1; {Right border of the search} L := 0; {Comparison counter} while p <= q do begin i := (p + q) div 2; inc(L); if A[i] = x then begin writeln(’Found item i = ’, i, ’ in L = ’, L, ’ comparisons’); C (file ”sproc.c”) #define MAXN 10000 int A[MAXN]; int N; void BinarySearch(int x) { exit end; ifx< q:= else p:= end end; printf("Found item i = %d" " in L = %d comparisons", i, L); return; } A[i] then i-1 i+1 if (x < A[i]) q = i - 1; else p = i + 1; Before BinarySearch was called, N was set to some integer number from 1 to 10000 inclusive and array A was filled with a nondescending integer sequence. It is known that the procedure has terminated with the message “Found item i = XXX in L = Y Y Y comparisons” with some known values of i and L. Your task is to write a program that finds all possible values of N that could lead to such message. However, the number of possible values of N can be quite big. Thus, you are asked to group all consecutive Ns into intervals and write down only first and last value in each interval. Input The input file consists of several datasets. Each datasets consists of a single line with two integers i and L (0 ≤ i < 10000 and 1 ≤ L ≤ 14), separated by a space. } } int p, q, i, L; p = 0; /Left border of the search/ q = N-1; /Right border of the search/ L = 0; /Comparison counter/ while (p <= q) { i = (p + q) / 2; ++L; if (A[i] == x) {

2/2 Output On the first line of each dataset write the single integer number K representing the total number of intervals for possible values of N. Then K lines shall follow listing those intervals in an ascending order. Each line shall contain two integers Ai and Bi (Ai ≤ Bi) separated by a space, representing first and last value of the interval. If there are no possible values of N exist, then the output file shall contain the single ‘0’. Sample Input 9000 2 10 3 Sample Output 0 4 12 12 17 18 29 30 87 94
