Binary Search Algorithm
- Three versions:
- binary_search
- lower_bound
- upper_bound
- Assumptions:
- collection v of data of type T and size sz
- v is sorted (increasing order)
- bracket operator provides random access to elements of v
- element t of type T
- Outcomes:
- binary_search: return true if t is in v, false if not
- lower_bound: return smallest index i such that t <= v[i]
- upper_bound: return smallest index i such that t < v[i]
