Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array

Explore how to find the minimum element in a rotated sorted array by understanding the rotation pattern and applying an efficient binary search approach that runs in logarithmic time and constant space.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You’re given a rotated sorted array, arr, of length nn, that is rotated clockwise between 11 and nn times.

For example,

  • Before rotation, arr =[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]= [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]

  • After 33 rotations, the array becomes [6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5][6,7,8,1,2,3,4,5] ...
