// Java implementation of recursive Binary Search
class BinarySearch
{
// Returns index of x if it is present in arr[l..
// r], else return -1
int binarySearch(int arr[], int l, int r, int x)
{
if (r>=l)
{
int mid = l + (r - l)/2;

// If the element is present at the
// middle itself
if (arr[mid] == x)
return mid;

// If element is smaller than mid, then
// it can only be present in left subarray
if (arr[mid] > x)
return binarySearch(arr, l, mid-1, x);

// Else the element can only be present
// in right subarray
return binarySearch(arr, mid+1, r, x);
}

// We reach here when element is not present
// in array
return -1;
}

// Driver method to test above
