题目描述:
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.
Your algorithm's runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).
Example 1:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]
, target = 0
Output: 4
Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,0,1,2]
, target = 3
Output: -1
中文理解:
给定一个由递增序列根据某一个下标旋转的序列,找出这个序列是够存在target值,存在的话,返回下标,否则返回-1.
解题思路:
使用双指针,在收尾像中间遍历,若找到target则返回下标,否则返回-1。
代码(java):
class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
if(nums.length==0)return -1;
int start=0,end=nums.length-1;
while(start<=end){
if(nums[start]==target)return start;
if(nums[end]==target)return end;
start++;
end--;
}
return -1;
}
}
