 * This implementation is based on Generalizing the Fibonacci search we
 * define the Fibonacci search of degree K. Like the Fibonacci search,
 * which it reduces to for K = 2, the Fibonacci search of degree K
 * involves only addition and subtraction.

 * We define a function fibonacciSearch() that takes an array of numbers,
 * the item (number) to be searched for and the length of the items in the array
