Given a list of objects with names and phone numbers and a person's name to search for, return phone number of the LAST person w/ that name

phone-book-search.js

// Example Input 1:
let phoneBook = [{name: 'Ann', number: "123-456-7890"},  {name: 'John', number: "234-567-8901"}, {name: 'John', number: "345-678-9012"} ];
// Phone book is alphabetized

// ON Soln
// container for match {}
// loop through the array
  // find match, save match to container
// return match.number

// ON Version Test
console.log('O(N)', 'John', searchPhoneBookON(phoneBook, 'John'));

// More optimized solution
// main function
  // holder for last match
  // run helper function on book
  // return info from holder

// helper
// find the middle
// check if it matches or if it's higher
  // if it matches, save match
  // check the right until 
// if it's lower
  // check the left.
