5 12687dd9 2023-08-04 jrmu Given avector (sorted) and key, determines the index of the key in the vector if it occurs using the binary-search algorithm. Otherwise, returns false.

14 12687dd9 2023-08-04 jrmu Exercise 29.3.9. Develop the function binary-contains?. It consumes a sorted vector of numbers and a key, which is also a number. The goal is to determine the index of the key, if it occurs in the vector, or false. Use the binary-search algorithm from section 27.3.
16 12687dd9 2023-08-04 jrmu Determine the abstract running time of binary-contains? and compare with that of contains?, the function that searches for a key in a vector in the linear fashion of vector-contains-doll?.
18 12687dd9 2023-08-04 jrmu Suppose we are to represent a collection of numbers. The only interesting problem concerning the collection is to determine whether it contains some given number. Which data representation is preferable for the collection: lists or vectors? Why?
