Ternary Search

November 10, 2017

We looked at binary search in the previous exercise. Today we look at ternary search. Instead of one mid at the middle of the array, ternary search has two mids a third of the way from each end; two-thirds of the array is discarded at each recursive step.

Your task is to write a program that performs ternary search. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
