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.
Solution:
public class Solution {
public int search(int[] nums, int target) {
int lo=0, hi=nums.length-1;
while(lo<hi){
int mid = (lo+hi)/2;
if(nums[mid]>nums[hi]) lo = mid + 1;
else hi = mid;
}
int shift = lo;
lo = 0; hi = nums.length-1;
while(lo<=hi){
int mid = (lo+hi)/2;
int real = (mid + shift)%nums.length;
if(nums[real]==target) return real;
else if(nums[real]<target) lo = mid +1;
else hi = mid - 1;
}
return -1;
}
}
