Solution: Find Peak Element
Explore how to identify a peak element in a given integer array by applying a modified binary search technique. This lesson helps you understand the process of narrowing down the search range by comparing middle elements and their neighbors, achieving peak detection in logarithmic time complexity with constant space usage.

Statement
You’re given a 0-indexed integer array nums. An index i is called a peak if nums[i] is strictly greater than its neighboring values (the elements immediately to its left and right, if they exist). Assume the array has virtual boundaries where nums[-1] = nums[n] = -∞, so the first and last elements can also be peaks.
Your task is to return the index of any one peak ...
