package LeetCode_1064 /** * 1064. Fixed Point * Lock by LeetCode * Given an array A of distinct integers sorted in ascending order, return the smallest index i that satisfies A[i] == i. * Return -1 if no such i exists. Example 1: Input: [-10,-5,0,3,7] Output: 3 Explanation: For the given array, A[0] = -10, A[1] = -5, A[2] = 0, A[3] = 3 , thus the output is 3. Example 2: Input: [-10,-5,3,4,7,9] Output: -1 Explanation: There is no such i that A[i] = i, thus the output is -1. Note: 1 <= A.length < 10^4 -10^9 <= A[i] <= 10^9 * */ class Solution { fun fixedPoint(array: IntArray): Int { //brute force, O(n) /*for (i in 0 until array.size) { if (i == array[i]) { return i } } return -1*/ //binary search, O(logN) var left = 0 var right = array.size while (left <= right) { val mid = (left + right) shr 1 if (array[mid] == mid) {return mid } else if (array[mid] < mid) { //need find in right side left = mid + 1 } else { right = mid - 1 } } return -1 } }
