Problem: Search Insert Position

Explore how to implement binary search to locate a target value in a sorted array or determine the correct insertion position. Understand key steps for maintaining sorted order while achieving optimal logarithmic time complexity and constant space usage.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given a sorted array nums consisting of distinct integers, along with an integer target. If target exists in nums, return its index. Otherwise, return the index at which target would need to be inserted to maintain the array’s sorted order.

Your solution must achieve O(log⁡n)O(\log n) runtime complexity.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq nums.length ≤104\leq 10^4 ...
