Create an interpolation sort algorithm using python that will take two files benchmark_data.txt for the already sorted data and benchmark_search_values.txt, one will be a sorted set of numbers and the other will be values you search for. There will be numbers that are out of range in your benchmark_data.txt and you must skip them in the search to do proper interpolation. Even though I do not provide you the files, you don't need them to actually make the algorithm because the logic should be sound to just code the algorithm. You will run an interpolation algorithm on every number in the search file and report the minimum, maximum, and average number of comparisons for the algorithm. Please comment code so I can better understand interpolation sort. Thank you.

I'm specifically stuck on when there isnt a certain number in the search values file that is in the benchmark data and then it ends up ending the program there, but please provide algorithm so i can see if i may have done other things wrong. Thank you.
