* @function BinarySearch

* @description Search the integer inside the sorted integers array using Binary Search Algorithm.

* @param {Integer[]} arr - sorted array of integers

* @param {Integer} low - The input integer

* @param {Integer} high - The input integer

* @param {Integer} searchValue - The input integer

* @return {Integer} - return index of searchValue if found else return -1.

* @see [BinarySearch](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm)
