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.
Example 1:
Example 2:
Constraints:
n == nums.length
1 <= n <= 5000
-5000 <= nums[i] <= 5000
nums
is sorted and rotated between 1
and n
times.
Follow up: This is the same as but with duplicates. Would allow duplicates affect the run-time complexity? How and why?
