81. Search in Rotated Sorted Array II
Medium
Suppose an array sorted in ascending order is rotated at some pivot unknown to you beforehand.
(i.e., [0,0,1,2,2,5,6]
might become [2,5,6,0,0,1,2]
).
You are given a target value to search. If found in the array return true
, otherwise return false
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2]
, target = 0
Output: true
Example 2:
Input: nums = [2,5,6,0,0,1,2]
, target = 3
Output: false
Follow up:
- This is a follow up problem to Search in Rotated Sorted Array, where
nums
may contain duplicates. - Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?
class Solution {
public boolean search(int[] nums, int target) {
int left = 0;
int right = nums.length - 1;
while (left <= right) {
int mid = left + (right - left) / 2;
if (target == nums[mid]) {
return true;
}
// left < mid </> right
if (nums[left] < nums[mid]) {
if (target > nums[mid] || target < nums[left]) {
left = mid + 1;
} else {
right = mid - 1;
}
} else if (nums[left] > nums[mid]) { // left > mid </> right
if (target < nums[mid] || target > nums[right]) {
right = mid - 1;
} else {
left = mid + 1;
}
} else { // left = mid
left += 1;
}
}
return false;
}
