*
* This function does a binary search on the given array. The

* under the provided comparison function.
*
* Note that the key need not have the same type as the elements in
* the array, e.g. key could be a string and the comparison function
* could compare the string with the struct's name field. However, if
* the key and elements in the array are of the same type, you can use
* the same comparison function for both sort() and bsearch().
