Modul:Exponential search

-- This module provides a generic exponential search algorithm.

local checkType = require('libraryUtil').checkType
local floor = math.floor

local function midPoint(lower, upper)
	return floor(lower + (upper - lower) / 2)
end

local function search(testFunc, i, lower, upper)
	if testFunc(i) then
		if i + 1 == upper then
			return i
		end
		lower = i
		if upper then
			i = midPoint(lower, upper)
		else
			i = i * 2
		end
		return search(testFunc, i, lower, upper)
	else
		upper = i
		i = midPoint(lower, upper)
		return search(testFunc, i, lower, upper)
	end
end

	if init and (init < 1 or init ~= floor(init) or init == math.huge) then
		error(string.format(
			"invalid init value '%s' detected in argument #2 to " ..
			"'Exponential search' (init value must be a positive integer)",
			tostring(init)
