Number Range (medium)

Problem Statement

Given an array of numbers sorted in ascending order, find the range of a given number ‘key’. The range of the ‘key’ will be the first and last position of the ‘key’ in the array.

Write a function to return the range of the ‘key’. If the ‘key’ is not present return [-1, -1].

Example 1:

Input: [4, 6, 6, 6, 9], key = 6
Output: [1, 3]

Example 2:

Input: [1, 3, 8, 10, 15], key = 10
Output: [3, 3]

Example 3:

Input: [1, 3, 8, 10, 15], key = 12
Output: [-1, -1]

Constraints:

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 10<sup>5</sup>
  • -10<sup>9</sup> <= nums[i] <= 10<sup>9</sup>
  • nums is a non-decreasing array.
  • -10<sup>9</sup> <= target <= 10<sup>9</sup>
