Given a sorted array of integers, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1]
.
For example,
Given [5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10]
and target value 8,
return [3, 4]
.
class Solution {
public:
vector<int> searchRange(int A[], int n, int target) {
int l = 0;
int r = n;
while (l != r) {
int mid = l + (r-l)/2;
if (A[mid] < target) {
l = mid + 1;
} else {
r = mid;
}
}
int start = A[l] == target?l:-1;
l = 0;
r = n;
while (l != r) {
int mid = l + (r-l)/2;
if (A[mid] <= target) {
l = mid + 1;
} else {
r = mid;
}
}
int end = A[l-1] == target?l-1:-1;
vector<int> res;
res.push_back(start);
res.push_back(end);
return res;
}
};
