带字符串数组的二进制搜索算法

Question

该程序应该在字符串数组中搜索名称。 最初，该程序适用于int数据类型，但更改为字符串。 我试图修改代码以使其运行并可以运行，但是没有得到正确的输出。 我的二进制搜索功能出问题了。 我的二进制搜索功能未正确编辑以适应数据类型从int到string的更改。 它不会起作用，因为我在数组中有字符串，而不是最初为其创建的int。 其他一切似乎正常工作。

这是我得到的输出。

请输入员工姓名： 鲁尼

该名称确实存在于数组中。

从技术上讲，我应该得到它存在的消息以及它所处的位置。

Answer 1

因为名称Looney在数组中不存在。

您应该输入Looney, Joe以获得预期的输出。

输入错误，否则您的实现看起来不错。
