* Finds an item in a sorted array.

* @function
* @param {Array} array The sorted array to search.
* @param {*} itemToFind The item to find in the array.
* @param {binarySearchComparator} comparator The function to use to compare the item to
* elements in the array.
* @returns {number} The index of itemToFind
in the array, if it exists. If itemToFind
* does not exist, the return value is a negative number which is the bitwise complement (~)

* sorted order of the array.

* function comparator(a, b) {
* return a - b;
* };
* const numbers = [0, 2, 4, 6, 8];
* const index = Cesium.binarySearch(numbers, 6, comparator); // 3
