Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array

Suppose an array sorted in ascending order is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.

(i.e., [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] might become [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]).

Find the minimum element.

You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.

Example 1:

Input: [3,4,5,1,2]
Output: 1

Example 2:

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

Complexity Analysis:

• Time complexity : O(log n). Same as binary search

• Space complexity : O(1). only 3 variables have been used.
