Binary Search
You are given an array of distinct integers nums, sorted in ascending order, and an integer target.
Implement a function to search for target within nums. If it exists, then return its index, otherwise, return -1.
Your solution must run in O(logn) time.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [-1,0,2,4,6,8], target = 4
Output: 3
Example 2:
Input: nums = [-1,0,2,4,6,8], target = 3
Output: -1
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10000.
-10000 < nums[i], target < 10000
