Solution: Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array

Explore how to use modified binary search to locate the first and last positions of a target value in a sorted array. This lesson helps you understand the algorithm that combines two binary searches to achieve O(log n) time complexity and constant space usage, enhancing your coding interview problem-solving skills.

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums, that is sorted in non-decreasing order. Your task is to find the first and last indexes of a given value, target, within this array.

If the target does not appear in the array at all, return [-1, -1].

Note: You must write an algorithm with O(logn)O(\log n) ...
