Java Program to Implement a Binary Search Algorithm for a Specific Search Sequence

This is a java program to search sequence using binary search. This is a simple extension of binary search algorithm to find an element.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement a Binary Search Algorithm for a Specific Search Sequence. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
