-<h2 id="Search">func <span>Search</span> </h2> <pre data-language="go">func Search(n int, f func(int) bool) int</pre> <p>Search uses binary search to find and return the smallest index i in [0, n) at which f(i) is true, assuming that on the range [0, n), f(i) == true implies f(i+1) == true. That is, Search requires that f is false for some (possibly empty) prefix of the input range [0, n) and then true for the (possibly empty) remainder; Search returns the first true index. If there is no such index, Search returns n. (Note that the "not found" return value is not -1 as in, for instance, strings.Index.) Search calls f(i) only for i in the range [0, n). </p>
-<p>A common use of Search is to find the index i for a value x in a sorted, indexable data structure such as an array or slice. In this case, the argument f, typically a closure, captures the value to be searched for, and how the data structure is indexed and ordered. </p>
-<p>For instance, given a slice data sorted in ascending order, the call Search(len(data), func(i int) bool { return data[i] &gt;= 23 }) returns the smallest index i such that data[i] &gt;= 23. If the caller wants to find whether 23 is in the slice, it must test data[i] == 23 separately. </p>
-<p>Searching data sorted in descending order would use the &lt;= operator instead of the &gt;= operator. </p>
-<p>To complete the example above, the following code tries to find the value x in an integer slice data sorted in ascending order: </p>
-<pre data-language="go">x := 23
-i := sort.Search(len(data), func(i int) bool { return data[i] &gt;= x })
-if i &lt; len(data) &amp;&amp; data[i] == x {
- // x is present at data[i]
-} else {
- // x is not present in data,
- // but i is the index where it would be inserted.
-}
