+ * ExponentialSearch is an algorithm that efficiently finds the position of a target

+ * where the target might exist and then using binary search within that range.
+ *
+ *
+ * Worst-case time complexity: O(log n)
+ * Best-case time complexity: O(1) when the element is found at the first position.
+ * Average time complexity: O(log n)
+ * Worst-case space complexity: O(1)
+ *
+ *
+ *
+ * Note: This algorithm requires that the input array be sorted.
