Although keys in a map are distinct, the binary search algorithm can be applied in a more general setting in which an array stores possibly duplicative elements in nondecreasing order. Consider the goal of identifying the index of the leftmost element with key greater than or equal to given k. Does the findIndex method as given in Code Fragment 10.11 guarantee such a result? Does the findIndex method as given in Exercise R-10.21 guarantee such a result? Justify your answers.Exercise R-10.21Consider the following variant of the findIndex method of the SortedTableMap class, originally given in Code Fragment 10.11:Does this always produce the same result as the original version? Justify your answer.
