Solution: Single Element in a Sorted Array

Explore how to efficiently find the single non-duplicate element in a sorted array where all other elements appear twice. Learn to apply a modified binary search by adjusting indices and pointer movements, achieving optimal logarithmic time with constant space complexity.

Statement

You are given a sorted array of integers, nums, where all integers appear twice except for one. Your task is to find and return the single integer that appears only once.

The solution should have a time complexity of O(logn)O(\log n) or better and a space complexity of O(1)O(1).

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq ...
