LeetCode: Search for a Range 解题报告

Search for a Range
Given a sorted array of integers, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.

Your algorithm‘s runtime complexity must be in the order of O(log n).

If the target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].

For example,
Given [5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 10] and target value 8,
return [3, 4].

SOLUTION 1:

使用改进的二分查找法。终止条件是:left < right - 1 这样结束的时候,会有2个值供我们判断。这样做的最大的好处是,不用处理各种越界问题。

感谢黄老师写出这么优秀的算法:http://answer.ninechapter.com/solutions/search-for-a-range/

请同学们一定要记住这个二分法模板,相当好用哦。

1. 先找左边界。当mid == target,将right移动到mid,继续查找左边界。

 最后如果没有找到target,退出

2. 再找右边界。当mid == target,将left移动到mid,继续查找右边界。

 最后如果没有找到target,退出
