Find Minimum In Rotated Sorted Array II Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 154.
Suppose an array of length n sorted in ascending order is rotated between 1 and n times. For example, the array nums = [0,1,4,4,5,6,7] might become:
- [4,5,6,7,0,1,4] if it was rotated 4 times.
- [0,1,4,4,5,6,7] if it was rotated 7 times.
Notice that rotating an array [a[0], a[1], a[2], …, a[n-1]] 1 time results in the array [a[n-1], a[0], a[1], a[2], …, a[n-2]].
Given the sorted rotated array nums that may contain duplicates, return the minimum element of this array. You must decrease the overall operation steps as much as possible.
Example 1:
1
2
Input: nums = [1,3,5]
Output: 1
Example 2:
1
2
Input: nums = [2,2,2,0,1]
Output: 0
Constraints:
- n == nums.length
- 1 <= n <= 5000
- -5000 <= nums[i] <= 5000
- nums is sorted and rotated between 1 and n times.
