35. Search Insert Position (Easy)

https://leetcode.com/problems/search-insert-position/

Given a sorted array and a target value, return the index if the target is found. If not, return the index where it would be if it were inserted in order.

You may assume no duplicates in the array.

Example 1:

Input: [1,3,5,6], 5
Output: 2

Example 2:

Input: [1,3,5,6], 2
Output: 1

Example 3:

Input: [1,3,5,6], 7
Output: 4

Example 4:

Input: [1,3,5,6], 0
Output: 0

Solutions

class Solution {
    public int searchInsert(int[] nums, int target) {
        int left = 0;
        int right = nums.length - 1;

        while (left <= right) {
            int mid = (left + right) / 2;
            if (nums[mid] == target) {
                return mid;
            }

            if (nums[mid] > target) {
                right = mid - 1;
            } else {
                left = mid + 1;
            }
        }

        // target not in nums, return left but not right
        return left;
    }
}
