Follow up for "Search in Rotated Sorted Array":
What if duplicates are allowed?
Would this affect the run-time complexity? How and why?
Write a function to determine if a given target is in the array
public class Solution {
public boolean search(int[] A, int target) {
int l = 0;
int r = A.length-1;
while (l <= r) {
int mid = (l + r) / 2;
if (A[mid] == target) {
return true;
}
if (A[mid] > A[l]) {
if (A[mid] > target && A[l] <= target) {
r = mid - 1;
} else {
l = mid + 1;
}
} else if(A[mid] < A[l]){
if (A[mid] < target && A[r] >= target) {
l = mid + 1;
} else {
r = mid - 1;
}
}else{
return search(Arrays.copyOfRange(A, l, mid),target)||search(Arrays.copyOfRange(A, mid+1,r+1),target);
}
}
return false;
}
