/**
 * The LowerBound method is used to return an index pointing to the first
 * element in the range [first, last) which has a value not less than val, i.e.
 * the index of the next smallest number just greater than or equal to that
 * number. If there are multiple values that are equal to val it returns the
 * index of the first such value.
 *
 * <p>
 * This is an extension of BinarySearch.
