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:关键是判断middle点左右半边那一侧是有序的。(3种情况,左右一侧有序,左右都有序)
比如如果左侧有序,而target>A[left],target<A[right],说明target在左侧,就在左侧搜索。
如果target不在该范围内,就在右侧搜索。
右侧有序同理。
class Solution { public: int search(int A[], int n, int target) { if(n==0) return -1; int left = 0; int right = n-1; int middle = 0; while(left<=right){ middle = left+(right-left)/2; if(A[middle]==target) return middle; if(A[middle]>=A[left]){ if(A[left]<=target&&target<A[middle]){ right = middle-1; } else left = middle+1; } else{ if(A[middle]<target&&target<=A[right]){ left = middle+1; } else right = middle-1; } } return -1; } };
