Rotated Sorted Array Search

You are given a rotated sorted array 'nums' where n is the length of the array and an integer 'target'. Return the index of 'target' if it is in the array, or -1 if it is not. The input array is guaranteed to contain no duplicates. Input format: - The first line contains an integer n (1 ≤ n ≤ 10^6), the size of the array. - The second line contains n space-separated integers representing the rotated sorted array. - The third line contains the target integer (0 ≤ target ≤ 10^9). Output format: - Print a single integer, the index of target or -1 if not found. Example: Input: 5 4 5 6 7 0 1 2 0 Output: 4
