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.
考虑以下情况: 5,6,0,1,2,3,4 找零
class Solution {
public:
int search(int A[], int n, int target) {
// Start typing your C/C++ solution below
// DO NOT write int main() function
int left = 0;
int right = n-1;
int middle;
while(left<=right)
{
middle = (left+right)/2;
if(A[middle]==target) return middle;
if(A[left]<=A[middle])
{
if(A[left]<=target && target<A[middle])
{
right = middle - 1;
}
else
{
left = middle + 1;
}
}
else
{
if(A[left]<=target || target<A[middle]) //思考:为何这里是或。
{
right = middle - 1;
}
else
{
left = middle + 1;
}
}
}
return -1;
}
};
