[LeetCode] 34. Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array Medium

本文介绍了一种在已排序数组中寻找特定元素起始和结束位置的高效算法,该算法的时间复杂度为O(logn),并提供了两种实现方式:一种是通过分别寻找目标值的最左边界和最右边界;另一种是在单个函数中同时找到这两个位置。

Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array

Given an array of integers nums sorted in ascending order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
Your algorithm’s runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].
Example 1:

Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 8
Output: [3,4]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,7,7,8,8,10], target = 6
Output: [-1,-1]

解析

在排序数组中找一个数的范围,即左边界和右边界。
定义两个找最左边界和最右边界的函数,在左边界中,如果找到mid == target,判断mid==0 或者mid前一个是否等于target,如果不等于,则找到,如果等于,则继续二分查找

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> searchRange(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        int left = GetfirstK(nums, target);
        int right = GetlastK(nums, target);
        vector<int> res;
        res.push_back(left);
        res.push_back(right);
        return res;
    }
    
    int GetfirstK(vector<int>& nums, int target){
        int left = 0,right = nums.size()-1;
        while(left<=right){
            int mid = (left+right)>>1;
            if(nums[mid] == target){
                if(mid == 0 || (mid>0 && nums[mid-1] != target))
                    return mid;
                else
                    right = mid-1;
            }
            else if(nums[mid] > target)
                right = mid-1;
            else
                left = mid+1;
        }
        return -1;
    }
    
    int GetlastK(vector<int>& nums, int target){
        int size = nums.size();
        int left = 0,right = nums.size()-1;
        while(left<=right){
            int mid = (left+right)>>1;
            if(nums[mid] == target){
                if(mid == size-1 || (mid <size-1 && nums[mid+1] != target))
                    return mid;
                else
                    left = mid+1;
            }
            else if(nums[mid] > target)
                right = mid-1;
            else
                left = mid+1;
        }
        return -1;
    }
};

也可以在一个函数中找到两个值,具体参考

class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> searchRange(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        vector<int> res(2, -1);
        int left = 0, right = nums.size() - 1;
        while (left < right) {
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
            if (nums[mid] < target) left = mid + 1;
            else right = mid;
        }
        if (nums[right] != target) return res;
        res[0] = right;
        right = nums.size();
        while (left < right) {
            int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
            if (nums[mid] <= target) left = mid + 1;
            else right= mid;
        }
        res[1] = left - 1;
        return res;
    }
};

### LeetCode Problem 34: Find First and Last Position of Element in Sorted Array The task involves finding the starting and ending position of a given target value within an array of integers. If the target is not found in the array, [-1, -1] should be returned. For instance, consider an input where `nums` = [5,7,7,8,8,10], and `target` = 8. The expected output would be [3, 4]. Another example could involve `nums` = [5,7,7,8,8,10], but this time with `target` = 6, leading to an output of [-1, -1]. To solve this problem efficiently: A binary search approach can achieve logarithmic complexity by narrowing down potential positions for both the first and last occurrence of the target element[^1]: ```python def searchRange(nums, target): def findLeftIndex(nums, target): left, right = 0, len(nums) - 1 while left <= right: mid = (left + right) // 2 if nums[mid] < target: left = mid + 1 else: right = mid - 1 return left def findRightIndex(nums, target): left, right = 0, len(nums) - 1 while left <= right: mid = (left + right) // 2 if nums[mid] <= target: left = mid + 1 else: right = mid - 1 return right left_index = findLeftIndex(nums, target) right_index = findRightIndex(nums, target) # Check if the target exists in the list. if left_index <= right_index < len(nums) and nums[left_index] == target: return [left_index, right_index] return [-1, -1] ``` This code snippet defines two helper functions that perform modified versions of binary searches—one looking for the start index (`findLeftIndex`) and another for the end index (`findRightIndex`). After determining these indices, it checks whether they are valid before returning them as part of the result.
