Peak Index in a Mountain Array
Medium
Topics
An array nums is a mountain: it strictly increases up to a unique peak and then strictly decreases. Return the index of the peak element. Solve in O(log n) time.
Example 1
Input: nums = [0,1,0] Output: 1
Example 2
Input: nums = [0,2,1,0] Output: 1
Example 3
Input: nums = [0,10,5,2] Output: 1
Constraints
- 3 <= nums.length <= 10^5
- 0 <= nums[i] <= 10^6
- nums forms a mountain (unique peak).
