Write a program to perform binary search in an array.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
void sort(int *data, int n) {
int i, j, temp;
for (i = 1; i < n; i++) {
temp = data[i];
for (j = i; j > 0 && data[j-1] > temp; j--) {
data[j] = data[j-1];
}
data[j] = temp;
}}
int main() {
int i, high, low, mid, n, *data, element, ch = 1;
clrscr();
printf("Binary Search Example:\n");
printf("Enter the number of entries:");
scanf("%d", &n);
data = (int *)malloc(sizeof (int) * n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
scanf("%d", &data[i]);
}
sort(data, n);
printf("After sorting:");
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
printf("%3d ", data[i]);
printf("\n");
while (ch) {
printf("Enter the data to be searched:");
scanf("%d", &element);
low = 0, high = n-1;
while (low <= high) {
mid = (high + low) / 2;
if (data[mid] < element)
low = mid + 1;
else if (data[mid] > element)
high = mid - 1;
else {
printf("Search element %d found "
 "at index %d\n", element, mid);
break;
}}
printf("Searched element is not available\n");
printf("Do you wanna continue search(1/0):");
scanf("%d", &ch);
