Added Order Agnostic Binary Search problem in Searches folder. (#3791)
* Added Order Agnostic Binary Search problem * Update OrderAgnosticBinSearch.java * Added JUnit Tests and removed redundant code. * Made minor changes in JUnit Tests * Removed tests for main folder and added docs. * Added OrderAgnosticBinarySearchTest.java * Renamed file to avoid errors. * Updated the file to avoid build error

/* Order Agnostic Binary Search is an algorithm where we do not know whether the given
|
||||
sorted array is ascending or descending order.
|
||||
We declare a boolean variable to find whether the array is ascending order.
|
||||
In the while loop, we use the two pointer method (start and end) to get the middle element.
|
||||
if the middle element is equal to our target element, then that is the answer.
|
||||
If not, then we check if the array is ascending or descending order.
|
||||
Depending upon the condition, respective statements will be executed and we will get our answer.
