**Signature:**

```typescript
export declare function arrayBinaryLastIndexOf<T>(indexable: T, comparisonValueToSearchFor: number, getComparisonValueAtIndex: TGetComparisonValueAtIndex<T>, length: number, start?: number): number;
```

## Example


```typescript
// searching for the number 3 with start index 1 & length 2
 const index = arrayBinaryIndexOf([1, 2, 3, 4], 3, (a, i) => a[i], 2, 1);
