Search in Rotated Sorted Array II
Understand how to apply modified binary search to locate a target integer within a rotated sorted array containing duplicates. Learn to optimize search steps without knowing the pivot, handle non-distinct values, and improve your problem-solving approach for similar interview challenges.

Statement
You are required to find an integer value target in an array arr of non-distinct integers. Before being passed as input to your search function, arr has been processed as follows:
It has been sorted in non-descending order.
It has been rotated around some pivot
, such that, after rotation, it looks like this: [nums[k], nums[k+1], ..., nums[n-1], nums[0], nums[1], ..., nums[k-1]]. For example,[10, 30, 40, 42, 42, 47, 78, 90, 901], rotated around pivot...
