Insertion Index in Sorted List
Given a list of integers nums, sorted in ascending order, and a number target, return the index where target should be inserted to keep nums sorted. If target already exists in nums, return the largest index where target can be inserted.
This should be done in \(\mathcal{O}(\log n)\).
Constraints
