Problem Statement

Write a C program to search for a target element in a rotated sorted array and print its index.

Input Format

First line: N and Target. Second line: N space-separated integers representing a rotated sorted array.

Output Format

Print the index of Target, or -1 if not found.

Constraints

1 <= N <= 1000

Sample Input

7 0
4 5 6 7 0 1 2

Sample Output

Explanation

Target 0 is found at index 4 in the rotated sorted array.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    int n, target;
    if (scanf("%d %d", &n, &target) == 2) {
        int arr[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
        // Write your code here
    }
    return 0;
}
