I hope everyone's doing well.
This post is targeted to the users who have SOLVED this problem.
Solution 1 : https://ideone.com/8oEVbg
Solution 2 : https://ideone.com/lekcZ4
Point to Note : The only difference in the two codes is in the way Binary Search is implemented.
Both the above solutions got accepted but give different output for the following test case.
1
2 2
1
3
Solution 1 would give 2 as the answer (which is correct) while Solution 2 prints 1 as the answer.
So is this test case, valid? If yes, then how Solution 2 is getting accepted?
