Consider the following program segment.
/* num is the number of the function searches in a presorted integer array arr */
int bin_search (int num)
{
 int min, max;min=0;max=100;
while(min!=max)
{
if(arr[(min+max)/2]>num)
max = (min + max)/2;
else if(arr[min + max)/2]
min =(min +max)/2;
else return ((min + max)/2);
}
return(-1);
}
