In this video, we will be writing a function that takes an array of sorted integers and a key and returns the index of the first occurrence of that key from the array.
For example, for the array:
[-14, -10, 2, 108, 108, 243, 285, 285, 285, 401]
with target = 108, the algorithm would return 3, as the first occurrence of 108 in the above array is located at index 3.
