```
template<typename T>
int ArrayBinarySearch(
   T&             array[],         // an array for search
   const int      start_index,     // the starting index
   const int      count,           // the search range
   T              value,           // the search value
   IComparer<T>*  comparer         // interface to compare
   );

```
