Write Binary Search From Scratch

This NumberList is built from values that are already in ascending order, so it can be searched by halving the range instead of scanning it.

Requirements:
1. Write binarySearch(int target): return the index where target sits, or -1 when it is not in the list.
2. Write contains(int target) as a one-line wrapper that calls binarySearch. Do not search the array a second time.

Do NOT write a main method.

Expected Output:

0
6
3
-1
true
false

= newline. The output ends with a newline — print one after the last line.
