Problem: Search in Rotated Sorted Array
Discover how to perform a binary search on a rotated sorted array to locate a target element efficiently. This lesson guides you through identifying the sorted half of the array and adjusting your search approach to maintain logarithmic time complexity.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given an integer array nums that was originally sorted in ascending order with all distinct values. This array may have been left rotated at some unknown pivot index k, transforming it into [nums[k], nums[k+1], ..., nums[n-1], nums[0], nums[1], ..., nums[k-1]] (using
Given the array nums after this possible rotation and an integer target, return the index of target in nums if it exists, or return
