# Task 1: Target Index
# ====================
#
# You are given an array of integers, @ints and a target element $k.
#
# Write a script to return the list of indices in the sorted array where the
# element is same as the given target element.
#
## Example 1
##
## Input: @ints = (1, 5, 3, 2, 4, 2), $k = 2
## Output: (1, 2)
##
## Sorted array: (1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5)
## Target indices: (1, 2) as $ints[1] = 2 and $k[2] = 2
#
## Example 2
##
## Input: @ints = (1, 2, 4, 3, 5), $k = 6
## Output: ()
##
## No element in the given array matching the given target.
#
## Example 3
##
## Input: @ints = (5, 3, 2, 4, 2, 1), $k = 4
## Output: (4)
##
## Sorted array: (1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5)
## Target index: (4) as $ints[4] = 4

# Straight forward steps: sort the input array, use an index to
# walk the array and remember the instances where $ints[$i] == $k.
