Hi! R is an amazing piece of software and with so many libraries it can do almost anything... but I was very surprised that a standard "binary search" function seems not to exist. I can find other much more highly-complex search routines (optimize, uniroot, nlm) in the standard no-extra-packages-loaded version of R, but not this simple alternative. I searched and found an implementation inside the package "genetics", but that requires the loading of an awful lot of other code to get to this simple function.
Have I missed something? Perhaps I just didn't find what is already in there. Can anyone point me to what I'm after? If not, perhaps the developers might consider making it more readily available?
