Search Sorted Sequence Using Divide and Conquer with the Aid of Fibonacci Numbers

Search Sorted Sequence Using Divide and Conquer with the Aid of Fibonacci Numbers

- It implements a Divide and Conquer approach using Fibonacci numbers.
- Using Fibonacci numbers we calculate mid of data array to search the data item.
- The time complexity is O(log(n)).

- Calculate the mid of the array.
- Divide the array into two sub-array.
- Compare the item with mid element and proceed accordingly.
- Exit.

C++ program to implement Fibonacci Search.

#include<iostream>
 
using namespace std;
 
void FibonacciSearch(int *a, int start, int end, int *fab, int index, int item)
{
	int i, mid;
 
	// Assigning middle of the array using Fibonacci element.
	mid = start+fab[index-2];
 
	// Return if item found at mid index.
	if(item == a[mid])
	{
		cout<<"\n item found at "<<mid<<" index.";
		return;
	}
	// Return if item found at start index.
	else if(item == a[start])
	{
		cout<<"\n item found at "<<start<<" index.";
		return;
	}
	// Return if item found at end index.
	else if(item == a[end])
	{
		cout<<"\n item found at "<<end<<" index.";
		return;
	}
	// If mid becomes start or end of the sub-array then element not found.
	else if(mid == start || mid == end)
	{
		cout<<"\nElement not found";
		return;
	}
	// According to the item value choose the partion to proceed further.
	else if(item > a[mid])
		FibonacciSearch(a, mid, end, fab, index-1, item);
	else
		FibonacciSearch(a, start, mid, fab, index-2, item);
}

	FibonacciSearch(a, 0, 19, fab, i, n);
