Leetcode--34--Search for a Range

题型:binary search

关键在于二分查找中left,right,mid三者以及num[mid]与target的大小关系设置。

 

举例:nums = [1, 2, 2, 6, 7]         target = 2 或者 3

根据这个样例可以得出以下具体结果

 

首先,分4种情况:

1. 如果target存在nums中,得到>=target的最左位置

2. 如果target存在nums中,得到>=target的最右位置

3. 如果target不存在nums中,得到>target的最左位置

4. 如果target不存在nums中,得到>target的最右位置

 

#解决情况1, 4
#情况1:因为nums[mid]==target,r位置会向左移动
#情况4:因为return l,返回的l是如果对于target小于nums[mid]来说,l是会+1;否则r会-1,;不管怎样都是取的>target的位置
l = 0 r = len(nums) - 1 while l <= r: mid = l + (r - l) / 2 if nums[mid] == target: r = mid - 1 elif nums[mid] > target: r = mid - 1 else: l = mid + 1 return l

 

#解决情况2, 3
#理由同上
l = 0 r = len(nums) - 1 while l <= r: mid = l + (r - l) / 2 if nums[mid] == target: l = mid + 1 elif nums[mid] > target: r = mid - 1 else: l = mid + 1
