Interpolation search. Suppose that arithmetic operations are allowed on keys (for example, they may be Double or Integer values). Write a version of binary search that mimics the process of looking near the beginning of a dictionary when the word begins with a letter near the beginning of the alphabet. Specifically, if kx is the key value sought, klo is the key value of the first key in the table, and khi is the key value of the last key in the table, look first [(kx - klo)/(khi - klo)]-way through the table, not half-way. Test your implementation against BinarySearchST for FrequencyCounter.
