Binary search result predicates

The following predicates can be used to perform predecessor / successor queries using binarySearch().

• bsLT() - Returns index of last item less than search value or -1 if no such values exist
• bsLE() - Similar to bsLT(), but for less-than-equals queries
• bsGT() - Returns index of first item greater than search value or -1 if no such values exist
• bsGE() - Similar to bsGT(), but for less-than-equals queries
• bsEQ() - Merely syntax sugar, casting any non-found result indices to -1

import { binarySearch, bsGT, bsLT } from "@thi.ng/arrays";

const src = [10, 20, 30, 40];

bsLT(binarySearch(src, 25))
// 1

// greater-than queries also require the array length

bsGT(binarySearch(src, 25), src.length)
// 2

bsGT(binarySearch(src, 40), src.length)
// -1
