### binarySearch Use recursion. Similar to `Array.indexOf()` that finds the index of a value within an array. The two differences being 1. Operation only works with sorted arrays 2. Offers a major performance boost when compared to a linear search or `Array.indexOf()` ```js const binarySearch = (arr, val, start = 0, end = arr.length - 1) => { if (start > end) return -1; const mid = Math.floor((start + end) / 2); return (arr[mid] > val) ? binarySearch(arr, val, start, mid - 1) : (arr[mid] < val) ? binarySearch(arr, val, mid + 1, end) : mid } ``` ```js binarySearch([1, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24], 6); // 2 binarySearch([1, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 22, 24], 21); // -1 ```
