LeetCode-33. Search in Rotated Sorted Array
Suppose an array sorted in ascending order 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.
Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
Example 1:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]
, target = 0
Output: 4
Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]
, target = 3
Output: -1
解题思路:本题要求找出某一个target在一个按顺序排序然后旋转之后的数组中的位置,分两步进行,第一步就是利用二分查找的方法找出数组的最小位置,记为start,第二步就是利用二分查找的方法查找target,注意realmid=mid+start 才是按顺序排序的数组的真正中点。
class Solution {
public:
int search(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
int len=nums.size();
int left=0,right=len-1;
int mid;
while(left<right)
{
mid=(left+right)/2;
if(nums[mid]>nums[right])
left=mid+1;
else right=mid;
}
int start=left;
int realmid;
left=0;
right=len-1;
while(left<=right)
{
mid=(left+right)/2;
realmid=(mid+start)%len;
if(nums[realmid]==target) return realmid;
if(nums[realmid]<target)left=mid+1;
else right=mid-1;
}
return -1;
}
};
