+### `searchRange` Function Explanation
+
+1. Get the length of the input array `nums`.
+2. Initialize an array to store the search range.
+3. Initialize an array with [-1, -1] (default return value).
+4. Initialize the start index of the search range as -1.
+5. Initialize the end index of the search range as -1.
+6. Start iterating through the input array.
+7. If the current element is not the target, continue to the next element.
+8. If the current element is not the target, continue to the next iteration.
+9. If the start index of the search range is -1, set it to the current index.
+10. Update the end index of the search range to the current index when a match is found.
+11. If the start index is not -1, return the search range.
+12. Return the search range containing the start and end indices of the target.
+13. If no match was found, return the default [-1, -1] array.
+14. Return the default search range [-1, -1] to indicate no match.
