Given a sorted array of distinct integers nums and an integer target, return the index if target is found. If it is not found, return the index where it should be inserted to keep the array sorted. The input is an array of integers and a target integer; the output is a single integer index.

Constraints

1 <= len(nums) <= 10^4
-10^4 <= nums[i], target <= 10^4
nums is sorted in ascending order
All values in nums are distinct
