+//Jump Search is a searching algorithm for sorted arrays
+//suppose we have an array arr[] of size n and a block (to be jumped) of size m.
+//Then we search in the indexes arr[0], arr[m], arr[2m]…..arr[km] and so on. 
+//Once we find the interval (arr[km] < x < arr[(k+1)m]), 
+//we perform a linear search operation from the index km to find the element x
