Description

Using qsort() and bsearch() with values.

Demo Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX 20/*from w w  w. j a  va  2s  . com*/

int intcmp(const void *v1, const void *v2);

int main( void )
{
     int arr[MAX], count, key, *ptr;
     printf("Enter %d integer values; press Enter after each.\n", MAX);

     for (count = 0; count < MAX; count++)
         scanf("%d", &arr[count]);

     /* Sort the array into ascending order. */

     qsort(arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]), intcmp);

     /* Display the sorted array. */

     for (count = 0; count < MAX; count++)
         printf("\narr[%d] = %d.", count, arr[count]);

     printf("Enter a value to search for: ");
     scanf("%d", &key);

     /* Perform the search. */

     ptr = (int *)bsearch(&key, arr, MAX, sizeof(arr[0]),intcmp);

     if ( ptr != NULL )
         printf("%d found at arr[%d].", key, (ptr - arr));
     else
         printf("%d not found.", key);
     return 0;
}

int intcmp(const void *v1, const void *v2)
{
     return (*(int *)v1 - *(int *)v2);
}
