class Solution:
    def searchRange(self, nums, target):
        length = len(nums)
        start = -1
        end = -1
        left = 0
        right = length - 1

        while left <= right:
            mid = (left   right) // 2
            if nums[mid] > target:
                right = mid - 1
            elif nums[mid] < target:
                left = mid   1
            else:
                if mid == 0 or nums[mid - 1] < target:
                    start = mid
                    break
                right = mid - 1

        left = 0
        right = length - 1

                    break
                left = mid   1
