元二进制搜索|单面二元搜索

元二进制搜索(Steven Skiena在“算法设计手册”第134页上也称为单面二进制搜索)是二进制搜索的一种改进形式，它可以增量地构造数组中目标值的索引。像普通的二进制搜索一样，元二进制搜索需要O(log n)的时间。

例子：

Input: [-10, -5, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11], key_to_search = 10
Output: 5

Input: [-2, 10, 100, 250, 32315], key_to_search = -2
Output: 0

确切的实现有所不同，但是基本算法有两个部分：

1. 找出存储最大数组索引所需的位数。
2. 通过确定索引中的每个位应设置为1还是0，来逐步构造数组中目标值的索引。

方法：

1. 存储表示变量lg中最大数组索引的位数
2. 使用lg在for循环中开始搜索
3. 如果找到元素，则返回pos
4. 否则，递增构造索引以达到for循环中的目标值
5. 如果找到元素，则返回pos否则为-1

下面是上述方法的实现：

    // Set number of bits to represent largest array index
    int lg = log2(n-1)+1; 
  
    //while ((1 << lg) < n - 1)
        //lg += 1;
  
    int pos = 0;
    for (int i = lg ; i >= 0; i--) {
        if (A[pos] == key_to_search)
            return pos;
  
        // Incrementally construct the
