title: '153. Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array'

::::warning
Notice that rotating an array [a[0], a[1], a[2], ..., a[n-1]] 1 time results in the array [a[n-1], a[0], a[1], a[2], ..., a[n-2]].
::::
### Example 1:
- Input: `nums = [3,4,5,1,2]`
- Output: `1`
- Explanation: The original array was `[1,2,3,4,5]` rotated `3` times.
### Example 2:
- Input: `nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]`
- Output: `0`
- Explanation: The original array was `[0,1,2,4,5,6,7]` and it was rotated `4` times.
### Example 3:
- Input: `nums = [11,13,15,17]`
- Output: `11`
- Explanation: The original array was `[11,13,15,17]` and it was rotated `4` times.
### Constraints:
- `n == nums.length`
- `1 <= n <= 5000`
- `-5000 <= nums[i] <= 5000`
- All the integers of `nums` are unique.
- `nums` is sorted and rotated between 1 and `n` times.
## Solution
```py
class Solution:
def findMin(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
l, r = 0, len(nums) - 1
lowest_index = -1
while l <= r:
m = (l + r) // 2
if nums[m] <= nums[-1]:
lowest_index = m
r = m - 1
else:
l = m + 1
return nums[lowest_index]
```
