Solution: Find Peak Element
Understand how to apply a modified binary search technique to efficiently find a peak element in an integer array. This lesson guides you through the problem setup, the algorithm logic, and implementation details, helping you solve the peak finding problem with optimal time and constant space complexity.

Statement
You’re given a 0-indexed integer array nums. An index i is called a peak if nums[i] is strictly greater than its neighboring values (the elements immediately to its left and right, if they exist). Assume the array has virtual boundaries where nums[-1] = nums[n] = -∞, so the first and last elements can also be peaks.
Your task is to return the index of any one peak ...
