How can I use a Jump Search sorting algorithm to find an unknown number?
I have an array of sorted numbers from 001 to 999, and there is an unknown value x that I am trying to find within these numbers, and when the number is found, the algorithm will stop and return the number. I realize that I could use linear search or binary search to achieve this, but I would like to use Jump Search instead. Is there a way to do a jump search to find an unknown value, rather than a known value?
Thanks!
note: I'm trying to do this in JavaScript.

Search cannot find unknown value - it must be defined before searching.
Search algorithm usually returns index of element in array/list (or special value like -1 if not found), or True/False.
Perhaps you are talking about another problem, not searching for value?
