Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array.cpp

/*
    Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
    (i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7 might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2). Find the minimum element.

    Example:
      Given [4, 5, 6, 7, 0, 1, 2] return 0

    Solution: perform binary search to find minimum value.
