Implement and test a generic binary search. Note that your test program must use at least 2 types of data to prove that bsearch is generic. Templating means that instead of passing a parameter such as Integer you pass a parameter T. (T is a type variable and can be named anything). This means that you can call bsearch with different types of objects. Pseudo Code Example: Bsearch(String) Bsearch(Integer) This means you do not have to write 2 separate bsearch methods, one for String and one for Integer. The heart of how this is accomplished is the Comparable interface. If a class implements Comparable, it defines less than, greater than and equals. Also, by making the type variable you can call with any object that implements Comparable. Example Code: public class Searches { public static int bsearch(T[] a, int first, int last, T key) { called in main as: result = Searches.bsearch(IntegerArray,0, 10, key); result = Searchesbsearch(StringArray,0,10,key); Example Output: ——————–Configuration: ——————– Integer test array contains: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 -3 is not in the array. -2 is not in the array. -1 is not in the array. 0 is at index 0 1 is not in the array. 2 is at index 1 3 is not in the array. 4 is at index 2 String test array contains: apples oranges peaches strawberries watermelons apples is at index 0 plums is not in the array. Process completed.
