    public static int search(int[] array, int target) {
        // get the middle index
        int middleIndex = array.length/2;
        boolean indexFound = false;
        if (array[middleIndex] == target) {
            return middleIndex;
        } else {
            while (middleIndex < array.length) {
                System.out.println("mid index "+middleIndex);
                if (array[middleIndex] == target) {
                    indexFound = true;
                    break;
                }
                if (array[middleIndex] < target) {
                    middleIndex = (middleIndex + (array.length))/2;
                }
                if (array[middleIndex] > target) {
                    middleIndex = middleIndex/2 ;
                }
            }
        }
        if(indexFound)return middleIndex;
        return -1;
    }

You are always just changing the middle index

but you should have a beginning and end and recompute the middleIndex as the index in the middle of that

and each step, you either set the begin or end to the middleIndex (and recompute the middleIndex)

[barren totem]

instead of changing middle element you can just make two variables..like start and end which points first and last element in an array respectively and the mid element array.length/2...if mid>target then end = mid -1 else start = mid + 1 and your mid== target then indexFound = true; Youc can do in this way.

yah I did the correct way

low high and mid
