参考

思路：类似于二分法，先用[low,high]找到包含target的子段，再用[L,R]找到包含target的两端

class Solution(object):
    def searchRange(self, nums, target):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :type target: int
        :rtype: List[int]
        """
        low, high = 0, len(nums)-1
        while low <= high:
            mid = (low+high)//2
            if nums[mid] == target:
                L, R = mid, mid
                while L >= low and nums[L] == target:
                    L -= 1
                while R <= high and nums[R] == target:
                    R += 1
                return [L+1, R-1]
            if nums[low] <= target < nums[mid]:
                high = mid - 1
            else:
                low = mid + 1
        return [-1, -1]
