Solution: Search Insert Position
Explore how to implement a modified binary search to return the index of a target value in a sorted array or the correct insertion position if not found. Understand the step-by-step approach using two pointers and midpoint evaluation to maintain sorted order. This lesson helps you master binary search with O(log n) time complexity and constant space usage for efficient coding interview solutions.

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.
