Problem: Search in Rotated Sorted Array

Explore how to identify the target element's index in a rotated sorted array by applying modified binary search methods. This lesson helps you understand key strategies for handling arrays rotated by arbitrary amounts and equips you with a clear approach to solve this common interview problem efficiently.

Statement

You are given a sorted integer array, nums, and an integer, target. The array may have been rotated by an arbitrary number. Your task is to find and return the index of target in this array. If target does not exist, return -1.

An original sorted array before rotation is given below:
