Binary Search

[4jzvC542]

I have been given following example on Binary Search
it is not working and showing one error and i cant understand what is
wrong with the code :

  #include <iostream>

const int N = 10;

void main()
{
	int A[N];
	int i, intial, final, mid, data;

	std::cout << "Enter ten(10) values in ascending order : \n";

	for(i = 0; i < N; i++)
		std::cin >> A[i];

	std::cout << "Enter the data to be serched : \n";

	std::cin >> data;

	intial 0;
	final = N - 1;
	mid = (intial + final)/2;

	while((intial <= final) && (A[mid] != data))
	{
		if(A[mid] > data)
			final = mid - 1;
		else
			intial = mid + 1;
	}
	if (A[mid] == data)
		std::cout << "Data Present \n";
	else
		std::cout << "Data Absent \n";
}

it Shows following error :

--------------------Configuration: binary - Win32 Debug--------------------

Error executing cl.exe.

please help me where i am wrong

the error is telling you to look at line 19,

although the error message isn't very helpful, you should still be able to see that it should read "initial = 0;"

Thanks problem solved....
it was just initial = 0;

however there is another problem
i entered 10 ascending number : 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

now if i enter number to be searched = 5
then it will show present status

however if i will search 12(which is obviously not there)
it(Console) just keeps on blinking and i have to terminate it with Ctr + c
and win task manager shows CPU USAGE = 100%
as soon as i terminate it gets down too
whats the problem

Now working code is :

#include <iostream>

const int N = 10;

void main()
{
	int A[N];
	int i, intial, final, mid, data;

	std::cout << "Enter ten(10) values in ascending order : \n";

	for(i = 0; i < N; i++)
		std::cin >> A[i];

	std::cout << "Enter the data to be serched : \n";

	std::cin >> data;

	intial = 0;
	final = N - 1;
	mid = (intial + final)/2;

	while((intial <= final) && (A[mid] != data))
	{
		if(A[mid] > data)
			final = mid - 1;
		else
			intial = mid + 1;
	}
	if (A[mid] == data)
		std::cout << "Data Present \n";
	else
		std::cout << "Data Absent \n";
}
