    Binary search

    Easybinary searcharray

    nums is sorted ascending with distinct values. Return the index of target, or -1 if it's absent, in O(log n).

    Example 1

    Input:  nums = [-1,0,3,5,9,12], target = 9
    Output: 4

    Example 2

    Input:  nums = [-1,0,3,5,9,12], target = 2
    Output: -1

    Constraints

    • 1 ≤ nums.length ≤ 10⁴
    • nums is sorted and distinct

    Submit checks your solution against 8 tests, including hidden ones.

    /**
     * @param {int[]} nums
     * @param {int} target
     * @return {int}
     */
