+ * Interpolation search class. Interpolation search runs in logarithmic
+ * time, in average, and linear time in worst case, which will occur with
+ * rough distrubitions, constant memory, and requires the list to be sorted
+ * and numerical. Interpolation search often out preforms binary search for
+ * smoothing distributions. Identity search is not possible, only equality
+ * search.<br>
+ * The list must be sorted in ascending order.
