An sorted array of integers was rotated an unknown number of times.Given such an array, find the index of the element in the array in faster than linear time. If the element doesn't exist in the array, return null. code example

Example: search in rotated sorted array

//pseudocode
function search( arr[], key, low, high)

        mid = (low + high) / 2

        // key not present
        if(low > high)
                return -1

        // key found
        if(arr[mid] == key)
                return mid

        // if left half is sorted.
        if(arr[low] <= arr[mid])

                // if key is present in left half.
                if (arr[low] <= key && arr[mid] >= key) 
                        return search(arr,key,low,mid-1)

                // if key is not present in left half..search right half.
                else                 
                        return search(arr,key,mid+1,high)
                end-if

        // if right half is sorted. 
        else    
                // if key is present in right half.
                if(arr[mid] <= key && arr[high] >= key) 
                        return search(arr,key,mid+1,high)

                // if key is not present in right half..search in left half.
                else
                        return search(arr,key,low,mid-1)
                end-if
        end-if
