Given a sorted array of integers A(0 based index) of size N, find the starting and ending position of a given integar B in array A.
Your algorithm’s runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n)
.
Return an array of size 2, such that first element = starting position of B in A and second element = ending position of B in A, if B is not found in A return [-1, -1].
Input Format
The first argument given is the integer array A.
The second argument given is the integer B.
Output Format
Return an array of size 2, such that first element = starting position of B in A and second element = ending position of B in A, if B is not found in A return [-1, -1].
Constraints
1 <= N <= 10^6
1 <= A[i], B <= 10^9
For Example
Input 1:
A = [5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10]
B = 8
Output 1:
[3, 4]
Explanation 1:
First occurence of 8 in A is at index 3
Second occurence of 8 in A is at index 4
ans = [3, 4]
Input 2:
A = [5, 17, 100, 111]
B = 3
Output 2:
[-1, -1]
NOTE: You only need to implement the given function. Do not read input, instead use the arguments to the function. Do not print the output, instead return values as specified. Still have a doubt? Checkout Sample Codes for more details.
