OlaAmazonMorgan Stanley

You are given an array 'arr' of size 'n' having unique elements that has been sorted in ascending order and rotated between 1 and 'n' times which is unknown.


The rotation involves shifting every element to the right, with the last element moving to the first position. For example, if 'arr' = [1, 2, 3, 4] was rotated one time, it would become [4, 1, 2, 3].


Your task is to find the minimum number in this array.


Note :
All the elements in the array are distinct. 


Example :
Input: arr = [3,4,5,1,2]

Output: 1

Explanation: The original array was [1,2,3,4,5] and it was rotated 3 times.
