原题地址:https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/search-in-rotated-sorted-array/
题意:
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.
解题思路:二分查找的变种。
代码:
class Solution: # @param A, a list of integers # @param target, an integer to be searched # @return an integer def search(self, A, target): left = 0; right = len(A) - 1 while left <= right: mid = (left + right) / 2 if target == A[mid]: return mid if A[mid] >= A[left]: if target < A[mid] and target >= A[left]: right = mid - 1 else: left = mid + 1 elif A[mid] < A[right]: if target > A[mid] and target <= A[right]: left = mid + 1 else: right = mid - 1 return -1
