Solution: Search Insert Position

Understand how to implement an efficient binary search algorithm to find the target's index or insertion position in a sorted array. This lesson teaches you to use two pointers and midpoint calculations to maintain sorted order with O(log n) time and O(1) space complexity.

Statement

Given a sorted array of distinct integers, nums, and an integer, target, return the index of target if it exists in the array.
If the target is not present, return the index where it should be inserted to maintain the sorted order.

Your algorithm must run in the ...
