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.
画个图比划一下子就清楚了。
1 class Solution { 2 public: 3 int search(int A[], int n, int target) { 4 int l = 0, r = n - 1, m; 5 while (l <= r) { 6 m = l + (r - l)/2; 7 if (A[m] == target) return m; 8 if (A[m] < A[r]) { 9 if (A[m] <= target && target <= A[r]) l = m + 1;10 else r = m - 1;11 } else {12 if (A[l] <= target && target <= A[m]) r = m - 1;13 else l = m + 1;14 }15 }16 return -1;17 }18 };
