* Searches the specified array of doubles for the specified value using
* the binary search algorithm. The array <strong>must</strong> be sorted
* (as by the <tt>sort</tt> method, above) prior to making this call. If
* it is not sorted, the results are undefined. If the array contains
* multiple elements with the specified value, there is no guarantee which
* one will be found. The array can be sorted from low values to high or
* from high values to low.
*
* @param a the array to be searched.
* @param key the value to be searched for.
* @return index of the search key, if it is contained in the list;
* otherwise, <tt>(-(<i>insertion point</i>) - 1)</tt>. The
* <i>insertion point</i> is defined as the point at which the
* key would be inserted into the list: the index of the first
* element greater than the key, or <tt>list.size()</tt>, if all
* elements in the list are less than the specified key. Note
* that this guarantees that the return value will be >= 0 if
* and only if the key is found.
