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
).
Find the minimum element.
You may assume no duplicate exists in the array.
思路:这种题目自己想给典型的,小点的例子来分析边界条件会比较快。不知道binary search是不是都这样的(:
12345
51234
45123
34512
23451
mid>high肯定在右边 更新low
mid<high不一定在左边,需要加个限制mid>low 更新high
while()的边界条件是low<high的原因是search 一个数,你最后的目的是让low==high,这样就找到那个唯一的数。
public class Solution { public int findMin(int[] nums) { int low=0; int high=nums.length-1; while(low<high) { int mid=low+(high-low)/2; if(nums[mid]<nums[high]&&nums[mid]>nums[low]) { high=mid-1; } else if(nums[mid]>nums[high]) { low=mid+1; } else { high=mid; } } return nums[high]; } }
