Part -1 Since set is sorted the max element will lie at position
Since set is sorted the max element will lie at position
Max = Set[k] where k != 0
Set[n] where K == n
Part -2 Apply binary search to find out transition point
Assume set indexes are zero based
FindNumberOfRotations(A):
1. if (A[0] < A[n-1]) then
There is no rotation made return 0
2. low = 0, high =1
3. mid = (low + high)/2
4. if(A[mid] < A[high]) then
Transition lies in left half of the array
if A[mid-1] > A[mid] then return mid
else
high = mid-1
Go to step 3.
else
Transition lies in right half of array
if(A[mid] > A[mid+1]) then return mid+1
else
low = mid+1
Go to step 3
