374. Guess Number Higher or Lower

题目：猜数字大小

We are playing the Guess Game. The game is as follows:

I pick a number from 1 to n. You have to guess which number I picked.

Every time you guess wrong, I'll tell you whether the number is higher or lower.

You call a pre-defined API guess(int num) which returns 3 possible results (-1, 1, or 0):

-1 : My number is lower
 1 : My number is higher
 0 : Congrats! You got it!

Example:

n = 10, I pick 6.

Return 6.

题意：

我们在玩儿猜数字大小游戏，游戏规则如下：

我选择一个1到n的数字，你猜哪个数字是我选择的数字。每次你猜错了，我会告诉你我选择的数字比你告诉我的数字大还是小。你调用guess(int num)接口可以返回三种可能的结果（-1,1,0）。-1代表我的数字小，1代表我的数字大，0代表你刚好猜中了。

最简单的方法就是采用二分查找法。

// Forward declaration of guess API.
// @param num, your guess
// @return -1 if my number is lower, 1 if my number is higher, otherwise return 0
int guess(int num);


class Solution {
public:
    int guessNumber(int n) {
        if (guess(n) == 0) return n;
        int left = 1, right = n;
        while (left < right) {
            int mid = left + (right - left)/2, res = guess(mid);
            if (res == 0) return mid;
            else if (res == 1) left = mid;
            else right = mid;
        }
        return left;
    }
