Binary search algorithm
- ... that when Jon Bentley assigned the binary search algorithm in a course for professional programmers, 90 percent of the programmers failed to provide a correct solution?
- ALT1:... that from 1946 to 1960, every published implementation of the binary search algorithm worked only for some inputs?
- ALT2:... that from 1946 to 1960, every published implementation of the binary search algorithm worked only for some arrays?
- ALT3:... that when the binary search algorithm was assigned in a course for professional programmers, 90 percent of the programmers failed to provide a correct solution?
- Comment: I have less than five DYK nominations, so I do need to review another nomination (although I might).
