Binary Search Recursive

use std::cmp::Ordering;

/// Recursively performs a binary search for a specified item within a sorted array.
///
/// This function can handle both ascending and descending ordered arrays. It
/// takes a reference to the item to search for and a slice of the array. If
/// the item is found, it returns the index of the item within the array. If
/// the item is not found, it returns `None`.
///
/// # Parameters
///
/// - `item`: A reference to the item to search for.
/// - `arr`: A slice of the sorted array in which to search.
/// - `left`: The left bound of the current search range.
/// - `right`: The right bound of the current search range.
/// - `is_asc`: A boolean indicating whether the array is sorted in ascending order.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// An `Option<usize>` which is:
/// - `Some(index)` if the item is found at the given index.
/// - `None` if the item is not found in the array.
