153. Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array

Leetcode Solutions

Finding Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array using Modified Binary Search

  1. Initialize left to 0 and right to nums.length - 1.
  2. While left < right: a. Calculate mid as the midpoint between left and right. b. If nums[mid] > nums[right], the inflection point must be to the right of mid, so set left to mid + 1. c. Else, the inflection point is to the left of mid, including mid itself, so set right to mid.
  3. After the loop, left will be the index of the smallest element, return nums[left].
