/**
|
|
* Lower bound search algorithm.
|
|
* Lower bound is kind of binary search algorithm but:
|
|
* -If searched element doesn't exist function returns index of first element which is bigger than searched value.
|
|
* -If searched element is bigger than any array element function returns first index after last element.
|
|
* -If searched element is lower than any array element function returns index of first element.
|
|
* -If there are many values equals searched value function returns first occurrence.
|
|
* Behaviour for unsorted arrays is unspecified.
|
|
* Complexity O(log n).
