Follow up for "Find Minimum in Rotated Sorted Array":
What if duplicates are allowed?Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?
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
).
Find the minimum element.
The array may contain duplicates.
class Solution {
public:
int findMin(vector<int> &num) {
int left = 0, right = num.size() - 1;
while(left < right && num[left] >= num[right])
{
int middle = left + (right - left) / 2;
if(num[middle] > num[right])
left = middle + 1;
else if(num[middle] < num[left])
right = middle;
else
left += 1;
}
return num[left];
}
