35. Search Insert Position

Description

Given a sorted array of distinct integers and a target value, return the index if the target is found. If not, return the index where it would be if it were inserted in order.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

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

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,3,5,6], target = 7
Output: 4

Example 4:

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

Example 5:

Input: nums = [1], target = 0
Output: 0

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 104
• -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
• nums contains distinct values sorted in ascending order.
• -104 <= target <= 104
