INFM 603 Homework 3

1. Create a Web page that uses a binary search to search a list of 10 integer Stock-Keeping Unit numbers (SKU's) for items that are in stock. If the entered number is found, the page should display a message indicating that the item is available. If not, it should display the closest available stock numbers with numbers below and above the entered number. The search function must implement a binary search (looking at every number is not allowed because we want to demonstrate a technique that could be efficiently scaled up to a million items). The SKU's that the system searches should be 357, 401, 14, 522, 399, 1, 514, 1023, 711, and 515.
2. Call your Web page hw3.html, place it in the usual (603) directory on TerpConnect and link it from index.html as usual.
