Given a sorted array consisting of only integers where every element appears twice except for one element which appears once. Find this single element that appears only once. 


Example 1:

Input: [1,1,2,3,3,4,4,8,8]
Output: 2



Example 2:

Input: [3,3,7,7,10,11,11]
Output: 10



Note:
Your solution should run in O(log n) time and O(1) space.
