Java Program to Perform Uniform Binary Search

This is a java program to perform uniform binary search technique. It uses a lookup table to update a single array index, rather than taking the midpoint of an upper and a lower bound on each iteration; therefore, it is optimized for architectures (such as Knuth’s MIX) on which a table look-up is generally faster than an addition and a shift, and many searches will be performed on the same array, or on several arrays of the same length.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Perform Uniform Binary Search. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
