Specify the steps of an algorithm that locates an element
Chapter 2, Problem 28E(choose chapter or problem)
Specify the steps of an algorithm that locates an element in a list of increasing integers by successively splitting the list into four sublists of equal (or as close to equal as possible) size, and restricting the search to the appropriate piece.In a list of elements the same element may appear several times. A mode of such a list is an element that occurs at least as often as each of the other elements; a list has more than one mode when more than one element appears the maximum number of times.
