There is an integer array nums sorted in ascending order (with distinct values). Prior to being passed to your function, nums is possibly rotated at an unknown pivot index k (1 <= k < nums.length) such that the resulting array is [nums[k], nums[k+1], ..., nums[n-1], nums[0], nums[1], ..., nums[k-1]] (0-indexed). For example, [0,1,2,4,5,6,7] might be rotated at pivot index 3 and become [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]. Given the array nums after the possible rotation and an integer target, return the index of target if it is in nums, or -1 if it is not in nums. You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity. Example: Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2], target = 0 Output: 4 Constraints: 1 <= nums.length <= 5000 -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4 All values of nums are unique. nums is an ascending array that is possibly rotated. -10^4 <= target <= 10^4

You must write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity.
Example:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2], target = 0
Output: 4
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 5000
-10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
All values of nums are unique.
nums is an ascending array that is possibly rotated. -10^4 <= target <= 10^4
