=====================================================
[1] Binary Search using Recursion method
[2] Binary Search using Non-Recursion method

Enter your Choice:1

Enter the number of elements : 5

Enter the elements:
12
22
32
42
52

Elements present in the list are:

12      22      32      42      52

Enter the element you want to search:

42

Recursive method:
Element is found at 3 position
