Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array

Medium
Binary Search

Given an array of integers nums sorted in non-decreasing order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value. If target is not found, return [-1, -1].

You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 8
Output: [3,4]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 6
Output: [-1,-1]

 

Constraints:

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 105
  • -109 <= nums[i] <= 109
