/**
* Upper bound search algorithm.<br>
* Upper bound is kind of binary search algorithm but:<br>
* -It returns index of first element which is grater than searched value.<br>
* -If searched element is bigger than any array element function returns first index after last element.<br>
* <br>
* Behaviour for unsorted arrays is unspecified.
* <p>
* Complexity O(log n).
