Can you help me in this question

Answer 1

Answer:

6 2 and 0

Explanation:

This algorithm doesn't work if the list is not ordered ascending.

In this example it is not, and indeed the item "1" is never found.

first cycle: first=0, last=12 so midpoint=6

second cycle: first=0, last=5 so midpoint=2

last cycle: first=0, last=1 so midpoint=0

then last is assigned -1 so the while statement is no longer true.
