Description

Create a new file named 'binary_search.c' that implements the Binary Search algorithm.

Requirements:

  1. The function must assume the input array is already sorted.
  2. It should return the index of the target element if found, or -1 otherwise.
  3. Include a main function to test the search on a hardcoded sorted array.
