Leetcode Search in Rotated Sorted Array

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.

 利用二分查找,通过中间元素和左右两个元素比较,判断哪一部分有序的

  • 如果左半部分有序的,目标值落在有序区间里,那么移动右指针,因为无序的部分要么比中间元素大,要么比左端元素小,如果目标值不在有序区间内,则移动左指针
  • 如果右半部分有序的,目标值落在有序区间里,那么移动左指针,抛弃左半部分,如果目标值不在有序区间里,抛弃右半部分,则移动右指针
class Solution {public:    int search(int A[], int n, int target) {        int left = 0, right = n-1;        while(left <= right){            int mid = left+(right-left)/2;            if(A[mid] == target) return mid;            if(A[left]<= A[mid]){                if(A[left] <=target && A[mid] > target) right = mid-1;                else left  = mid+1;            }else{                if(A[mid] < target && target <= A[right]) left = mid+1;                else right =mid-1;            }        }        return -1;    }};

如果数组中含有相同值的元素,在左端元素、中间元素和右端元素相等的情况下,无法判断出哪一部分有序。在这种情况下,只能把左指针向前移动一步。

因此、在最坏情况下时间复杂度是O(n)
