Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array
# 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] ```
Constraints: ``` 0 <= nums.length <= 105 -109 <= nums[i] <= 109 nums is a non-decreasing array. -109 <= target <= 109 ```
/** * @param {number[]} nums * @param {number} target * @return {number[]} */ var searchRange = function(nums, target) { const binarySearch = (start, end) => { if (start > end) { return [-1, -1]; } const mid = Math.floor((start + end) / 2); if (nums[mid] === target) { let first = last = mid; while(nums[first - 1] === target) { first--; } while(nums[last + 1] === target) { last++; } return [first, last]; } else if (nums[mid] < target) { return binarySearch(mid + 1, end); } else if (nums[mid] > target) { return binarySearch(0, mid - 1); } }; return binarySearch(0, nums.length - 1); };
