Suppose an array sorted in ascending order 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.

题意是让你从一个旋转过后的递增序列中寻找给定值,找到返回索引,找不到返回-1,我们在下面这组数据中寻找规律。
1 2 4 5 6 7 0
2 4 5 6 7 0 1
4 5 6 7 0 1 2
5 6 7 0 1 2 4
6 7 0 1 2 4 5
7 0 1 2 4 5 6
由于是旋转一次,所以肯定有一半及以上的序列仍然是具有递增性质的,我们观察到如果中间的数比左面的数大的话,那么左半部分序列是递增的,否则右半部分就是递增的,那么我们就可以确定给定值是否在递增序列中,从而决定取舍哪半边。
class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
int l = 0, r = nums.length - 1, mid;
while (l <= r) {
mid = l + r >>> 1;
if (nums[mid] == target) return mid;
else if (nums[mid] >= nums[l]) {
if (nums[l] <= target && target < nums[mid]) r = mid - 1;
else l = mid + 1;
} else {
if (nums[mid] < target && target <= nums[r]) l = mid + 1;
else r = mid - 1;
}
}
return -1;
}
}
