[C]

Recall Binary Search:

Input: a list of n sorted integer values and a target value

Output: True if target value exists in list and location of target value, false otherwise

Method:

Set left to 1 and right to n

Set found to false

Set targetindex to -1

While found is false and left is less than or equal to right

Set mid to midpoint between left and right

If target = item at mid then set found to true and set targetindex to mid

If target < item then set right to mid 1

If target > item then set to left to mid + 1

Return the targetindex

Write a C function called binary_search().
