Given an array of integers nums sorted in non-decreasing order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.

If target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].

You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity.

  Example 1: Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 8 Output: [3,4] Example 2: Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 6 Output: [-1,-1] Example 3: Input: nums = [], target = 0 Output: [-1,-1]

  Constraints:

0 <= nums.length <= 10⁵
-10⁹ <= nums[i] <= 10⁹
nums is a non-decreasing array.
-10⁹ <= target <= 10⁹
