Solution: Search Insert Position
Explore how to locate the position of a target in a sorted array or identify the correct insertion index if absent. Understand and implement a modified binary search algorithm that operates in logarithmic time, keeping the array ordered. This lesson demonstrates careful boundary management and efficient search strategies to optimize performance for coding interviews.

Statement
Given a sorted array of distinct integers, nums, and an integer, target, return the index of target if it exists in the array.
If the target is not present, return the index where it should be inserted to maintain the sorted order.
Your algorithm must run in the
