    153 - Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array.

    Medium

    Suppose an array of length n sorted in ascending order is rotated between 1 and n times. For example, the array nums = [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] might become:

    • [4,5,6,7,0,1,2] if it was rotated 4 times.
    • [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] 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 of unique elements, return the minimum element of this array.

    You must write an algorithm that runs in O(log n) time.

    Example 1:

    Input: nums = [3,4,5,1,2]

    Output: 1

    Explanation: The original array was [1,2,3,4,5] rotated 3 times.

    Example 2:

    Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]

    Output: 0

    Explanation: The original array was [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] and it was rotated 4 times.

    Example 3:

    Input: nums = [11,13,15,17]

    Output: 11

    Explanation: The original array was [11,13,15,17] and it was rotated 4 times.

    Constraints:

    • n == nums.length
    • 1 <= n <= 5000
    • -5000 <= nums[i] <= 5000
    • All the integers of nums are unique.
    • nums is sorted and rotated between 1 and n times.
