String targetItem and integer numData are read from input. Then, numData alphabetically sorted strings are read from input and each string is added to an ArrayList. Complete the search$()$ method:

If targetItem is found at index midIndex of the ArrayList, output targetItem, followed by $"$ is found at index $"$ and the value of midIndex.

Else if rangeSize is $1,$ output targetItem, followed by $"$ is not in the list".

Otherwise, output targetItem, followed by $"$ is not found at index $"$ and the value of midIndex.

End each output with a newline.

Note:

str$1.$equals$($str$2)$ returns true if str$1$ is equal to str$2,$ and returns false otherwise.

No recursive call is needed.
