Solution: Single Element in a Sorted Array

Understand how to find the unique element in a sorted array where every other element appears twice. Explore the use of modified binary search by adjusting pointers and indices to efficiently locate the single non-duplicate element with optimal time and 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 ...
