34. Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array
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 in the array, 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]
Example 3: Input: nums = [], target = 0 Output: [-1,-1]
Constraints:
- 0 <= nums.length <= 105
- -109 <= nums[i] <= 109
- nums is a non-decreasing array.
- -109 <= target <= 109
Solution:
/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @param {number} target
* @return {number[]}
*/
var searchRange = function(nums, target) {
if (nums.length === 1 && nums[0] === target) return [0, 0];
if (nums.length === 0) return [-1, -1];
var l = 0;
var r = nums.length - 1;
var foundStart = -1;
var foundEnd = -1;
while (l <= r) {
if (nums[l] === target && foundStart === -1) {
foundStart = l;
if (nums[r] === nums[foundStart]) {
foundEnd = r;
break;
}
} else if (foundStart !== -1) {
var m = ((l + r) / 2) ^ 0;
if (target > nums[m]) {
l = m + 1;
} else if (target < nums[m]) {
r = m - 1;
} else if (target === nums[m]) {
foundEnd = m;
l = m + 1;
} else l++;
} else l++;
}
if (foundStart !== -1 && foundEnd === -1) foundEnd = foundStart;
return [foundStart, foundEnd];
};
