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]
).
Find the minimum element.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
Example 1:
Input: [3,4,5,1,2] Output: 1
Example 2:
Input: [4,5,6,7,0,1,2] Output: 0
class Solution {
public:
int findMin(vector<int>& nums) {
int start =0;
int end = nums.size()-1;
while(start<end){
if (nums[start]<nums[end])
return nums[start];
int mid = (start+end)/2;
if(nums[mid]>=nums[start])
start=mid+1;
else
end = mid;
}
return nums[start];
}
};
