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.
class Solution { public: int search(int A[], int n, int target) { if(A==NULL||n==0)return -1; int left=0,right=n-1; int mid; while(left<=right) { mid=(left+right)/2; if(A[mid]==target)return mid; if (A[left]<=A[mid]) { if (target>=A[left]&&target<A[mid]) right=mid-1; else left=mid+1; } else { if (target>A[mid]&&target<=A[right]) left=mid+1; else right=mid-1; } } return -1; } /* int search(int A[], int n, int target) { if(A==NULL||n==0)return -1; int left=0, right=n-1; int mid; while(left<=right) { mid=(left+right)/2; if(A[mid]==target)return mid; if(A[mid]>=A[left]) { if(A[mid]<target)left=mid+1; else { if(target>=A[left])right=mid-1; else left=mid+1; } } else { if(target<A[mid])right=mid-1; else { if (target<=A[right])left=mid+1; else right=mid-1; } } } return -1; } */ };
