Solution: Find the Peak Element
Understand two approaches for finding a peak element in an array. Learn a simple linear approach and then improve efficiency using a divide-and-conquer method that applies binary search to achieve logarithmic time complexity. This lesson helps you implement and analyze these solutions using C# to optimize algorithm performance.

Solution 1
One simple way to solve this problem is the following:
Explanation
- We start from the beginning and compare each element with its neighbors.
- We return the peak element wherever we find it in the array.
If the array is sorted in an increasing order with no repetition, then the last element is ...
