81. Search in Rotated Sorted Array II (Medium)

There is an integer array nums sorted in non-decreasing order (not necessarily with distinct values).

Before being passed to your function, nums is rotated at an unknown pivot index k (0 <= k < nums.length) such that the resulting array is [nums[k], nums[k+1], ..., nums[n-1], nums[0], nums[1], ..., nums[k-1]] (0-indexed). For example, [0,1,2,4,4,4,5,6,6,7] might be rotated at pivot index 5 and become [4,5,6,6,7,0,1,2,4,4].

Given the array nums after the rotation and an integer target, return true if target is in nums, or false if it is not in nums.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2], target = 0
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2], target = 3
Output: false

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 5000
• -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
• nums is guaranteed to be rotated at some pivot.
• -104 <= target <= 104

 

Follow up: This problem is the same as Search in Rotated Sorted Array, where nums may contain duplicates. Would this affect the runtime complexity? How and why?
