Suppose a sorted array is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
(i.e., 0 1 2 4 5 6 7
might become 4 5 6 7 0 1 2
).
You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return its index, otherwise return -1.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
思路:
假设数组是A,每次左边缘为l,右边缘为r,还有中间位置是m。在每次迭代中,分三种情况:
(1)如果target==A[m],那么m就是我们要的结果,直接返回;
(2)如果A[m]<A[r],那么说明从m到r一定是有序的(没有受到rotate的影响),那么我们只需要判断target是不是在m到r之间,如果是则把左边缘移到m+1,否则就target在另一半,即把右边缘移到m-1。
(3)如果A[m]>=A[r],那么说明从l到m一定是有序的,同样只需要判断target是否在这个范围内,相应的移动边缘即可。
代码:
class Solution { public: int search(int A[], int n, int target) { int low=0,high=n-1; while(low<=high){ int mid=(low+high)/2; if(A[mid]==target) return mid; if(A[low]<=A[mid]){ if(target<A[mid] && target>=A[low]){ high=mid-1; }else{ low=mid+1; } } else{ if(target>A[mid] && target<=A[high]){ low=mid+1; } else{ high=mid-1; } } } return -1; } };
