// Given an array of integers nums sorted in ascending order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
//
// Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
//
// If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].
//
// Example 1:
//
//
// Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 8
// Output: [3,4]
//
// Example 2:
//
//
// Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 6
// Output: [-1,-1]
//
