Binary Search in Archives

Can you help me about this? I need of a example..
thanks

Start by organizing all the shelves in dewey decimal ascending order. Look up the volume you want to find in the card catalogue. Go halfway down the aisle and see what the volumes there are marked with. If your id is less, move left, otherwise move right. Scan shelves from top to bottom repeating process.

How does sy-tabix affect by binary search transforming no fields?

1 report ztx1110.
 2 data: begin of it occurs 3,
 3 f1(2) type n,

 12 sort it by f1.
 13 do 5 times.
 14 it-f1 = sy-index * 10.
 15 it-f3 = 'XX'.
 16 it-f2 = it-f4 = sy-index.
 17 read table it
 18 with key f1 = it-f1
 19 binary search
 20 transporting no fields.
 21 if sy-subrc <> 0.
 22 insert it index sy-tabix.
 23 endif.
 24 enddo.

 26 loop at it.
 27 write: / it-f1, it-f2, it-f3, it-f4.
 28 endloop.
in this program changing value of sy-tabix as such sy-index.
means in it's first loop it's value is 1, on second loop it's 2, and so on up to 5.
okay that is due to binary search.
but why binary search affecting this system variable?

Hi Vinay,
It is simple.
This depends on your select query.
CASE 1: If you use select ..into table....., then there wil be nothing in your header ls_vbap. Now if you execute READ stmt..you will get nothing.
CASE 2: If you use Select..... into ls_vbap.....append ls_vbap....clear ls_vbap.....endselect. In this case also the output of READ will be nothing because you are clearing header. So while READ stmt you are comparing ls_vbap-vbeln and ls_vbap-posnr , as nothing in it you will get nothing
CASE 3: If you use case 2 without CLEAR stmt then always you will get the index of the last fetched record...i.e., the last record of the internal table before sorting..
I think it is helpful for you....if you are not clear just reply me

Binary Search need clarification

Hi All,
I am facing a problem here in binary search. I will try to explain the situation with an example.
Internal table : it_vbap
Fields : vbeln   posnr   qty
Index 1 100      10       5
index 2 100      10       5
index 3 100      20       5
index 4 100      20       5
index 5 100      30       5
index 6 100      30      5
the abap code is this.
sort it_vbap by vbeln posnr.
read table it_vbap into ls_vbap with ket
               vbeln = ls_vbap-vbeln
               psonr = ls_vbap-posnr
               binary search.
If sy-subrc = 0.
write : 'index :' sy-tabix.
endif.
My question here is does it always write index 1,3,5 (means in the all the case it should return the first record ), otherwise it can also return 1, 3, 6.
Pay attendtion the posnr are the same for every two records.
The internal table not only contains 6 six records , my question was however not depends on the number of records in the internal table, the binary search will return the first sorted key record in the table or not.
Please post your views.
Thanks & regards,
Vijay

How to use a standard library binary search if I'm not searching for a key?

Hi all,
I'm looking for the tidiest way to code something with maximum use of the standard libraries. I have a sorted set of ints that represent quality levels (let's call the set qualSet ). I want to find the maximum quality level (choosing only from those within qualSet ) for a limited budget. I have a method isAffordable(int) that returns boolean. So one way to find the highest affordable quality is to start at the lowest quality level, iterate through qualSet (it is sorted), and wait until the first time that isAffordable returns false. eg.
int i=-1;
for (int qual : qualSet) {
 if !(isAffordable(qual))
 return i;
 i++;
}However isAffordable is a slightly complicated fn, so I'd like to use a binary search to make the process more efficient. I don't want to write the code for a binary search as that is something that should be reused, ideally from the standard libraries. So my question is what's the best way of reusing standard library code in this situation so as to not write my own binary search?
I have a solution, but I don't find it very elegant. Here are the important classes and objects.
//simple wrapper for an int representing quality level
class QualityElement implements Comparable<QualityElement>
//element to use to search for highest quality
class HiQualFinderEl extends QualityElement {
 HiQualFinderEl(ComponentList cl) {...}
//class that contains fair amount of data and isAffordable method
class ComponentList {
 boolean isAffordable(int qual) {...}
//sorted set of QualityElements
TreeSet<QualityElement> qualSet When you create an instance of HiQualFinderEl, you pass it a reference to a ComponentList (because it has the isAffordable() method). The HiQualFinderEl.compareTo() function returns 1 or -1 depending on whether the QualityElement being compared to is affordable or not. This approach means that the binary search returns an appropriate insertion point within the list (it will never act as if it found the key).
I don't like this because semantically the HiQualFinderEl is not really an element of the list, it's certainly not a QualityElement (but it inherits from it), and it just feels ugly! Any clever suggestions? Btw, I'm new to Java, old to C++.
If this is unclear pls ask,
Andy

I would just copy the code from Collections.binarySearch and modify itI have this thing about reusing; just can't bring myself to do that :)
It would be quicker and more efficient than trying to shoe horn a solution which expects a trinary result.Not sure I understand the last bit. Are you referring to my bastardised compareTo method with only two results? If so, I know, it is ugly! I don't see how it could be less efficient though???

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?

Can I search email archive on iCloud server from iOS device, or can I only search what it has downloaded locally?
I currently have an iPhone and iPad, and am soon changing over to a Mac. When that happen I'd like to try to see what I can migrate over from the Google ecosystem to the iCloud ecosystem.
1) Currently I have the Gmail iOS app (a webapp container) that can search server-side of several years of email archive. Can iCloud do this using the iOS native mail application? Or is the search just limited to what the device has downloaded locally?
2) Do I have to use a @me.com address for the full iCloud email sync to take place between server, Mac, and iOS devices?
Believe it or not I've read quite a bit about the iCloud services, but the answers to these questions were far from clear. Many thanks for the help.

2) iCloud only syncs email between .me/.mac addresses. For other accounts like google, you set up the account in the mail app and if they're IMAP accounts, you can sync between the google server and any devices you have defined that account on.
I'm not absolutely sure about 1) since I haven't had to search going back years - I use MailSteward for that on the mac. On my iPhone/iPad, when I go into a mailbox and the emails are not immediately available, it downloads them. I suspect for a search, you need the emails downloaded.

Binary search question

Hi,
I want to use binary search in my code, just not sure, how to do it right.
Let's say I have an IT with columns A B C D.
I want to search this table first based on value in A and later based on B.
How should I sort this table?
>sort IT by A B
>read table with key A = '1' binary search
>read table with key B = 'X' binary search
or
>sort IT by A
>read table with key A = '1' binary search
>sort IT by B
>read table with key A = 'X' binary search
What happens, if I sort this table by A and let the system search based on value in B?
Thank you,
Olian

That is the way to go (I corrected the typo).
Binary search is only effective when the table is sorted by the search fields. It only makes sense though if you perform multiple reads after sorting (e.g. inside a loop), since sorting itself costs some processing time.

How could i use Binary search in dynamic read
a®

Hello,
how do you create your internal table "<FS_IT_CRV>" ?
i found this thread [here|Need help regarding Dynamic Read Table statement;.
You can try the code lines of David Klotz.
If you insert a sort statement before read and change read adding binary search it might work.
SORT <gt_itab> BY (ge_key_field1) (ge_key_field2) (ge_key_field3) .
* Finally, perform the search
READ TABLE <gt_itab> ASSIGNING <gs_result>
 WITH KEY (ge_key_field1) = pa_cond1
 (ge_key_field2) = pa_cond2
 (ge_key_field3) = pa_cond3 BINARY SEARCH.
I tried the following code in my own program and it works:
SORT <wlf_t_data> BY (c_trkorr).
read table <wlf_t_data> assigning <wlf_header> with key
 (c_trkorr) = 'DRR' binary search.
Where <wlf_t_data> is a dynamic table created by method create_dynamic_table of class cl_alv_table_create.

Problem with Binary search statement

Hi,
I have problem with reading the internal with Binary search.
I have two internal tables BSAS and BSIS. In BSAS I have 1,200,000 line items and BSIS 500,000 line items. I need to delete the line items if BSIS-BELNR NE BSAS-AUGBL.
I am using the following code :
 LOOP AT gt_bsas .
 READ TABLE gt_bsis WITH KEY bukrs = gt_bsas-bukrs
 belnr = gt_bsas-augbl
 gjahr = gt_bsas-gjahr.
 IF sy-subrc NE 0.
 DELETE gt_bsas.
 CLEAR gt_bsas.
 ELSE.
 endif.
endloop.
By this execution of the loop is taking long time. If I use the binary search it is fast but result is not correct.
Please suggest me, how to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Sri.

Try this way:
LOOP AT gt_bsas .
SORT GT_BSIS BY BUKRS BELNR GJAHR.
READ TABLE gt_bsis WITH KEY bukrs = gt_bsas-bukrs
belnr = gt_bsas-augbl
gjahr = gt_bsas-gjahr
BINARY SEARCH.
IF sy-subrc eq 0.
****Do Nothing.
ELSE.
DELETE gt_bsas sy-tabix.
CLEAR gt_bsas.
endif.
endloop.
1. Also make sure that the KEY mentioned in READ statement follows the same seqeunce of gt_bsis structure.
Thanks,

Sequence ID search in archived messages

Hi All,
I was looking to see if the sequence ID search will work on archived messages? I don't see any technical attributes section for extended search in archived messages tab in message monitoring of PO 7.4 SP6. Any idea?
thx
mike

>>>I was looking to see if the sequence ID search will work on archived messages.
If i go with the help documentation, I don't think that is possible. (In fact i don't see any other option other than Correlation ID under filters, i'm on SP08)
Advanced Message Search - Advanced Adapter Engine - SAP Library
Technical Attributes
Searching by technical attributes is possible only for the messages displayed in the Database tab. It allows you to find messages whose header contains information about a specific error category, quality of service, IDoc number, IDoc type, IDoc message type, protocol, transport, and many other technical details. You can also search for a message using Correlation ID. You can also use individual elements of Correlation ID like Interchange Number,Sender ID and Receiver ID as search parameters when using the advanced message search. For more information, see Searching EDI Messages using Correlation ID
Note You can use Correlation ID as a search parameter in the Archive database to search archived messages.

Searching a binary search tree written to a file

hello
I have a binary search tree which has 10 levels. Now I want to search a node
after writing all the nodes to a file.
Can anyone help me in doing this. A sample code would be great ...
Thanks
K

You suggest that I do away with the inner class
then?Absolutely. In fact I strongly suggest this. You are learning how to code and need to do things cleanly and in small steps. That means first creating your Node class and making sure it works. Then creating your Tree class, and making sure it works. In fact I would load the Strings into the Tree class first directly and testing things before even thinking about reading to and from files. Only then should you implement the file input and output steps.
The key here is that you don't go on to the next step until you're reasonably sure that your current code works. Remember, it's MUCH easier to code than to debug.

Binary search tree - writing to a file in alphabetic order words from tree

Hi
I have written a program that will read a list of words from a file, insert these into a binary search tree, write words from the tree to another file, so that the resulting list contains words in ascending order. My input file Alpha1.txt contains the following contents in the order and format given (one word per line):
Dawn
Dave
Mike
Beth
David
Gina
Pat
Cindy
Sue
My program is supposed to be producing an alphabetical list of these words in another file "final.txt".
Instead it gives me the following list:
Dave Beth David Gina Cindy Sue Pat Mike Dawn
This is obviously wrong, right? My correct list in "final.txt" should be
Beth Cindy Dave David Dawn Gina Mike Pat Sue

Creating A Binary search algorithm !!!! URGENT HELP

hi ..
i;m currently tryin to create a binary search algorithm ..
the user should be able to input the size of the array
and also the key that he would like to find.
it also has to have to ability to measure the run time of the algorithm.. it how long it too the algorithm to search through the array and find they key..
i have created 3 classes
the first class is the binary search class
which is the mathamatical side of things
the second class is the Array
this creates an array selection a random first number
and then incrementing from there, so that its a sorted array
the third class is the binary search class
which is my main class.
this class should take the users input
and pass it to the array
and the binary seach accordingly
it should also measure the running time, from when it passes the array
to the binary search class
i am having a really hard time creating this last class.
i have created the other 2 successfully
the codes for the binary search class is as follows
public class BinarySearch
 static int binSearch(int[] array, int val)
 // setting the start and the end of the array
 int low = 0, high = array.length;
 //While loop
 while(low <= high) {
 // How to find the mid point
 int mid = (low + high)/2;
 // if the mid point is the value return the value
 if(array[mid] == val) {
 return mid;
 // if the value is smaller than the mid point
 // go search the left half
 } else if(array[mid] > val) {
 high = mid - 1;
 //if the value is greater then the mid point
 // go search the right half
 } else if(array[mid] < val) {
 low = mid + 1;
 // if value is not found return nothing
 return -1;
}and the code for the Array class is as follows
import java.util.Random;
public class RandomSortedArray
 public int[] createArray(int length)
 // construct array of given length
 int[] ary = new int[length];
 // create random number generator
 Random r = new Random();
 // current element of the array; used in the loop below. Starts at
 // -1 so that the first element of the array CAN be a 0
 int val = -1;
 for( int i = 0; i < length; i++)
 val += 1 + r.nextInt(10);
 ary[i] = val;
 return ary;
}can some pne please help me create my binarysearchTest class.
as i mentioned before
it has to take the users input for the array size
and the users input for the value that they want to find
also needs to measure the running time
thanks for all ur help in advance

import java.util.*;
public class AlgorithmTest
 public static void main(String args[])
 long StartTime, EndTime, ElapsedTime;
 System.out.println ("Testing algorithm");
 // Save the time before the algorithm run
 StartTime = System.nanoTime();
 // Run the algorithm
 SelectionSortTest1();
 // Save the time after the run
 EndTime = System.nanoTime();
 // Calculate the difference
 ElapsedTime = EndTime- StartTime;
 // Print it out
 System.out.println("The algorithm took " + ElapsedTime + "nanoseconds to run.");
 }this is the code i managed to work up for measuring the time..
how would i include it into the main BinarysearchTest Class

Problem with binary search tree

Hi all, just having troubles with a program im writing.
My program is based on a binary search tree full of items which are passed in via an input file and then saved to an output file.
I have written a sellItem method which gets passed in the item and quantity that has been sold which then needs to be changed in the binary tree.
Here if my sell Item method:
 public void sellItem(Item item, int quantity){
 stockItem = item;
 mQuantity = quantity;
 if (tree.includes(stockItem)){
 int tempQuantity = stockItem.getQuantityInStock();
 tempQuantity -= mQuantity;
 else{
 throw new IllegalArgumentException("The Barcode " + mBarCode + " does NOT exist.");
 }and here is where i am calling it in a test class :
number1.sellItem(item1, 40);Each item is in this format :
ABCD, PENCIL, 1, 0.35, 200, 100, 200
where 200 is the quantity.
Therefore if i pass 40 into the method the binary search tree should then store the quantity as 160.

Hi all, just having troubles with a program im writing.
My program is based on a binary search tree full of items which are passed in via an input file and then saved to an output file.
I have written a sellItem method which gets passed in the item and quantity that has been sold which then needs to be changed in the binary tree.
Here if my sell Item method:
 public void sellItem(Item item, int quantity){
 stockItem = item;
 mQuantity = quantity;
 if (tree.includes(stockItem)){
 int tempQuantity = stockItem.getQuantityInStock();
 tempQuantity -= mQuantity;
 else{
 throw new IllegalArgumentException("The Barcode " + mBarCode + " does NOT exist.");
 }and here is where i am calling it in a test class :
number1.sellItem(item1, 40);Each item is in this format :
ABCD, PENCIL, 1, 0.35, 200, 100, 200
where 200 is the quantity.
Therefore if i pass 40 into the method the binary search tree should then store the quantity as 160.
below is a copy of my binary tree :
public class BSTree extends Object {
 private class TreeNode extends Object{
 public Comparable data;
 public TreeNode left;
 public TreeNode right;
 public TreeNode() {
 this(null);
 public TreeNode(Comparable barCode){
 super();
 data = barCode;
 left = null;
 right = null;
 private TreeNode root;
 private int nodeCount;
 public BSTree(){
 super();
 root = null;
 nodeCount = 0;
 public boolean isEmpty() {
 return root == null;
 public int size() {
 return nodeCount;
 private TreeNode attach(TreeNode newPointer, TreeNode pointer){
 if (pointer == null){
 nodeCount++;
 return newPointer;
 else {
 Comparable obj1 = (Comparable) newPointer.data;
 Comparable obj2 = (Comparable) pointer.data;
 if (obj1.compareTo(obj2) < 0) //Go left
 pointer.left = attach(newPointer, pointer.left);
 else //Go right
 pointer.right = attach(newPointer, pointer.right);
 return pointer;
 public void insert(Comparable item){
 //Create a new node and initialize
 TreeNode newPointer = new TreeNode(item);
 //Attach it to the tree
 root = attach(newPointer, root);
 public Comparable remove(Comparable key) {
 TreeNode pointer;
 TreeNode parent;
 //Find the node to be removed
 parent = null;
 pointer = root;
 while ((pointer != null) && !key.equals(pointer.data)) {
 parent = pointer;
 if (key.compareTo(pointer.data) <0)
 pointer = pointer.left;
 else
 pointer = pointer.right;
 if (pointer == null)
 return null;
 //Orphans
 TreeNode leftSubtree = pointer.left;
 TreeNode rightSubtree = pointer.right;
 if (parent == null)
 root = null;
 else if (key.compareTo(parent.data) < 0)
 parent.left = null;
 else
 parent.right = null;
 //Reattaching any orphans in the left subtree
 if (leftSubtree != null) {
 root = attach(leftSubtree, root);
 nodeCount--;
 //Reattaching any orphans in the right subtree
 if (rightSubtree != null) {
 root = attach(rightSubtree, root);
 nodeCount--;
 nodeCount--;
 return pointer.data;
 private TreeNode search(TreeNode pointer, Comparable key) {
 if (pointer == null)
 return null;
 else if (pointer.data.compareTo(key) == 0)
 return pointer;
 else if (key.compareTo(pointer.data) < 0)
 return search(pointer.left, key);
 else
 return search(pointer.right, key);
 public boolean includes(Comparable key) {
 return (search(root, key) != null);
 public Comparable retrieve(Comparable key) {
 TreeNode pointer;
 pointer = search(root, key);
 if (pointer == null)
 return null;
 else
 return pointer.data;
 public Comparable[] getAllInOrder() {
 Comparable[] list = new Comparable[nodeCount];
 inOrderVisit(root,list,0);
 return list;
 private int inOrderVisit(TreeNode pointer, Comparable[] list, int count) {
 if (pointer != null) {
 count = inOrderVisit(pointer.left, list, count);
 list[count++] = pointer.data;
 count = inOrderVisit(pointer.right, list, count);
 return count;
 public String toString() {
 StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer(100);
 inOrderString(root, result);
 return result.toString();
 private void inOrderString(TreeNode pointer, StringBuffer result) {

Problem with Binary Search.

Hi Gurus.
I am using binary search to read data from internal table with approx more than 3lacs records. Also my table is sorted by BUKRS BELNR. But the problem is that i am getting records from lower half of table only and first half of table is ignoring, so i am not able to get all records. If i use nornal search, i am geting 7856 records and if i use binary search, i am geting only 1786 records....Can anyone help me why this is happening????

Hi PV
Actually my table contain line items. I am reading header data from bkpf for a single day. and for that document nos i am fetching line items. But if i use join or for all entries, i will get time exceed errror. so i get Period of that single day and taking data for that period from BSIS and then reading BKPF.. and only taking that line items for which document no in BKPF...
my code is like
SELECT-OPTIONS: cpudt FOR sy-datum DEFAULT '20030102'.
SELECT bukrs belnr gjahr monat FROM bkpf
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE ibkpf
WHERE ( cpudt IN cpudt OR aedat IN cpudt ).
ibkpf1[] = ibkpf[].
SORT ibkpf1 BY monat.
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM ibkpf1 COMPARING monat.
IF ibkpf1[] IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT * FROM bsis INTO TABLE ibsis
      FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ibkpf1 WHERE gjahr = ibkpf1-gjahr
                                 AND monat = ibkpf1-monat.
SORT ibsis BY bukrs belnr.
LOOP AT ibsis.
    READ TABLE ibkpf WITH KEY bukrs = ibsis-bukrs
                              belnr = ibsis-belnr
                              BINARY SEARCH.
    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      DELETE ibsis.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDIF.

Binary search tree help...

Ok, maybe someone can help me with this one. Here's the code that I'm having trouble with:
public Object findValue(Comparable aKey)
 Node result = (Node) findByKey(aKey);
 if(result != null && result.getNodeKey() == aKey)
 return result.getNodeData();
 else
 return null;
}The problem is in the condition for the if statement, particularly, "result.getNodeKey() == aKey". I've checked both values for result.getNodeKey() and aKey, and they are both the same, but the program gives ma a false result, which sends it straight to the "return null;" statement. Any thoughts as to why it might do this?

I just found another trouble spot. Here's the code this time:
public boolean delete(Comparable aKey)
 Node result = (Node) findByKey(aKey);
 if(result != null && result.getNodeKey().equals(aKey))
 Node currentNode = rootNode;
 Node parentNode = null;
 boolean found = false;
 while(!found && currentNode != null)
 if(aKey.compareTo(currentNode.getNodeKey()) < 0)
 parentNode = currentNode;
 currentNode = (Node)currentNode.getLeftChild();
 else
 if(aKey.compareTo(currentNode.getNodeKey()) > 0)
 parentNode = currentNode;
 currentNode = (Node) currentNode.getRightChild();
 else
 found = true;
 if (parentNode == null)
 //here's where I need assistance
 return true;
 else
 parentNode.setLeftChild((Node) currentNode.getLeftChild());
 Node holderNode = (Node) currentNode.getLeftChild();
 holderNode.setRightChild((Node) currentNode.getRightChild());
 return true;
 else
 return false;
}I'm trying to delete from the binary search tree, and I'm not sure how to adjust for deleting the top of the tree (rootNode, in this case) before the rest of the tree is gone. Any ideas?
