Solution: Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array
Understand how to implement a modified binary search to find the first and last occurrences of a target element in a sorted array. This lesson teaches you to leverage sorted order to achieve O(log n) runtime by searching boundaries separately, helping improve problem-solving skills for coding interviews.

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
