https://leetcode.com/problems/find-minimum-in-rotated-sorted-array/description/
Suppose an array sorted in ascending order is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
(i.e., [0,1,2,4,5,6,7]
might become [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]
).
Find the minimum element.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
Example 1:
Input: [3,4,5,1,2] Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: [4,5,6,7,0,1,2] Output: 0

return self.findMin(nums[: mid + 1])
