题目:
https://leetcode.com/problems/search-in-rotated-sorted-array/
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.
想当年校招的时候做过这一题,而且不是写在纸上的。故事是这样的。。。。(以上省略1万字,大意就是面试官拿着他的Thinkpad扔给了我问会写JAVA吗?会用eclipse吗?好,打开eclipse写吧,于是乎我就开始写,自己造了几个case都pass了,面试官一看总感觉哪里不对,狂试好几个,终于试出来个bug) 两年过去了,现在我正拿着该公司的macbook pro重新练习着这道题。。。依然写了几遍才过。。。哎
又说多了,大概解法就是需要找到有序的一半是在哪里,找到了之后就看target是否在有序的那一半的范围内:
public class Solution {
public int search(int[] A, int target) {
if (A == null || A.length == 0) {
return -1;
}
int l = 0;
int r = A.length - 1;
while (l <= r) {
int mid = (l + r) / 2;
if (A[mid] == target) {
return mid;
} else if (A[mid] < A[r]) {
// right side is sorted
if (target >= A[mid] && target <= A[r]) {
l = mid + 1;
} else {
r = mid - 1;
}
} else {
// left side is sorted
if (target >= A[l] && target <= A[mid]) {
r = mid - 1;
} else {
l = mid + 1;
}
}
}
return -1;
}
}
