A binary search algorithm is written which searches a pre-sorted array for some user-defined value, clientData. If clientData is stored in the array, it returns its array position, and if not found, it returns -1 (again, just like in the modules). Assume the array to be searched has 100 data elements in it. (Check all that apply). HINT: Each recursive call throws away half of the elements it gets. The method gets 100 elements, but if clientData is not found in position 49 (first comparison) the method throws 51 of those elements away and calls itself. This inner call now has 49 elements to search. It tests element 24 against clientData (second comparison), and if it is not a match, throws about away half again, leaving 24. The next call/comparison, if needed, throws away about 12. The next call, if needed, throws away 6. The next call throws away 3. The next call throws away 2. Finally we only have one element to test. Each recursive call does one comparison. How many comparisons have we done, give or take one, (count above) in the worst case, assuming we have to go all the way down until we only have one element before we find the data we are searching for

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
