Find Target Indices After Sorting Array

Try to solve the Find Target Indices After Sorting Array problem.

We'll cover the following

Statement

You are given a 0-indexed array of positive integers, nums, and a value, target. The target represents an index ii in the array such that nums[i] == target.

Your task is to return a list of indexes of nums where the value equals target after sorting the array in nondecreasing order. If no such indexes exist, return an empty list. Ensure the returned list is sorted in increasing order.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq nums.length ≤100\leq 100

  • 1≤1 \leq nums[i], target ≤100\leq 100
